To be
With someone
So comfortable
In unconsciousness
Is to experience
Day by day
Little deaths of light

To watch sun stars
Snowy autumn moon
Your first love at twelve
A father missed
What it was like
To stand proudly on shore
Come home from sea
Disappear

To hear no echo
Of stories told
Those long asides
The giving of a poem

It is to know
An end if alone
Will not be so forsaken
As thought before

And better than this
Pretence oblivious
To everyone you are

Keeps me wondering, but I can understand why you titled it Cygnus X-1.

Enthralling.

Please pardon the wikipedia link, thank you.
Stars lack consciousness in an ensouled being sense, it's true, but you use this celestial material binary system to good effect in the title here.

I found this to be a good read about our own mental organization as it curreently, somewhat commonly occurs... and the effects such may have upon us in this world and beyond. Your words are enigmatic, and a bit inscrutable at times, yet thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
