Last Will and Testament

by CindyUng

August 22, 2015

I, Proxima Centauri,

of 424 G-cloud Nebula Road,

Centaurus Constellation City,

Solar System

revoke all former wills

and interstellar dispositions made by me

and declare this to be

my last will and testament.

I hereby appoint Helios Sol

to be the sole executor of this will

and bequeath to Helios Sol

all my atomic and personal property

of hydrogen, of dust, of shine,

whatsoever and wheresoever.

Provided that if Helios Sol predeceases me

leaving children alive at my explosion,

then I appoint such of those protostars

as have attained the age of 2 billion years

to be the executors of this will

and I hand all my atomic and personal property

to such children who have survived

and are alive at my collapse

and ensue equal shares of helium

absolutely.

In witness of which

I have set my outer layers to this,

at the presumed 4,000°K,

my will this 28th day

of November, year 6.5 billion.

Signed by the above

named Proxima Centauri

in our presence

and by us in Mother Universe.

Find me where the heart beats faster and the mind runs clearly. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of moonlight: Hold it close and you may hear the whispers of my aches and dreams. Speak softly now, you might scare the strength out of me. You'll never know where my thoughts will go next, just let me be the one driving this journey. Someday I'll return to the stars and sleep in the void, a place where I hope to find colors I've never seen before. And when I master the art of painting into the galaxies of pain and recovery, I will discover the truth in me. I will be free, I will be free. Let the constellations tattoo the spaces of my body. ***If you ever want me to check out your poetry, feel free to let me know!***
