COSMOS
a poem by Kelsie Victor
​
The cosmos to all are stars in the sky,
Constellations of archers and creatures that cry,
But the COSMOS, we know plays a special melody,
Of physics, the genome, airplanes, chemistry,
We’ll remember the long-winded days and the nights,
The anteater hunts, the colored flag fights,
Hold tight to the pictures we took at the sea,
Conversations with your roomates under the trees,
The points that we lost, the points that we won,
Sipping tea with sugar, bathed by the sun,
Our music is pouring out of the halls,
Our research is pinned proudly to the walls,
Running on the rooftop, sunset close behind,
Our grins are ablaze, our fingers intertwined,
Tilting up our gazes to that cosmos above,
Maybe that’s where we lay, our COSMOS beloved.
