No Closets In Outer Space



There are no closets
In outer space
Nowhere for secrets 
To hide on star base

What happens here 
Doesn't stay here
The memories 
Go home with me

When I recall them to mind
They come back to life
I see & hear everything
Like I'm there in a lucid dream

In outer space there are no closets
On star base there are no secrets

Nowhere to run 
Nowhere to hide
Let the secret go
You might survive

Another day another year
Be it straight or be it queer
I don't want to forget
What happens here

How love 
Smacks me in the face
What I least expect 
In outer space

Where love happens 
It leaves a trace
It makes me homesick
Leaves me with heartbreak

Without a mind to remember
Without a heart to recall
What happens on star base
Would mean nothing at all

Look away back home
For true meaning
Bring away back home
The memories of my dreaming 

Look not for a closet
To hide your secret
When I shake your hand
A little too long
Then I squeeze it

No closet in outer space
Seek out a shelter 
For your thoughts & dreams
A safer place 

Where love is not a secret
It doesn't hide in a closet
It cannot destroy you
The heart has love on deposit

What happens here 
Doesn't stay here
The memories 
Fly away back home

Be they straight Be they queer
When your memory flies to me
I feel less alone
And I wish you were here

To hold your hand in outer space
There are no closets on star base
Only the memory of your face
And the new memories in its place 

Another day another year
Be it straight Be it queer
I don't want to forget
What happens here

In outer space there is no closet
The heart has love on deposit.

NOTE

This poem is a spin-off from Episode 11 Star date on star base. David writes it while waiting for William to show up. It comes to him. 

He's wrestling with issues. In his dream, "what happens on star base stays on star base". No! Military secrets maybe. But love is not a secret. Whatever form love may take.

Episode 12 will be the bro date. David & William.
