Boomerangs Come Back
by
Barbara Novack
In the emptiness of space
an astronaut threw a boomerang
out
expecting
a continuing journey into the void
into the vastness
neverending
lost in time and space.
Into our emptiness
your words thrown out
into the void
of neverending
lostness.
The boomerang came back.
No one knows why.
There is a point
where time and space
converge.
You stand at the door
hand on the knob
looking back.
