Poetry / Transmortality

Descended from stars
my bones knit marrow
from vanquished particles of light.

My veins glisten with
alien dust, the stellar refractions
oflost civilizations and future species.

I am the suns of Orion,
rings of Saturn, the transmortal
wake of the Big Bang
brooding into the future.

Unbound by the prenatal geometry
of life, dead spirits scale
the spiraling spectral heights.

My soul rises with the night’s
ash, sentient echos
of nebulae spawn.

Well this is odd, mainly the ending. The idea of life from other forms of life, either more civilized or not. It is coming from first person, so… I have a sense of direction almost until the end, then it falls apart for me. Definitely outside the box.

I liked it and I could really feel all those S alliterations. It doesn’t need to be any longer but it does feel like it needs to find a home in a larger work. Much like the one mentioned in the note to the reviewer.

This is very cool. You seem to be saying that celestial entities have intelligence and spiritual significance my human would disavow.

“oflost civilizations” just a typo. This is fascinating.
“My soul rises with the night’s
ash,” This is stirring and beautiful. I really enjoyed reading this.

Your diction, syntax, and word choice are wonderful. Unfortunately, I don’t know what transmortality is. Maybe you should include the definition in your reviewer’s notes. Great job on this anyways. I look forward to reading the novel.

Happy writing.

It’s a bit cliched, but I still love the celestial imagery in this.  It’s visually very pretty.
