She sat on the sun
melting, burning
just to glow as bright as the stars.
Swallows with underbellies of shimmering
gold passed before her as
she sat on the sun
Their molted feathers become
shooting stars as they head towards earth,
melting, burning.
She wonders if birds can sing
in the depth of space or if they're only there
just to glow as bright as the stars.

handfuls of memories
your eyes are the gray of the clouds
when they cover the sun after a storm;
your words washing up on the skyline
of my towering city at night, a message
in a bottle only to be read by me.
ignoring gravity, i've recklessly
spilled the secret lives of shadows
to a piece of paper just for you
and buried them with the ocean.
since that day i'm the hunted;
for they want to make buttons
out of my traitor bones.
i am standing on the edge of a mountain,
watching as my carrousel dreams float away.
they dissolve into smoke and are consumed
by the eyes of night. my paperweight
soul tears as each piece disappears.
misguided ghosts

on remembering to breathe:
i.
you can't hold it in for forever.
your lungs weren't
made to bear the weight
of this world, they weren't made
to be left unexpanded
and unexplained -
it is not phenomenon that wakes you
when paralysis hits in the
night, it is physiology telling you that
not everything happens on automatic, okay?
(at least not for always)
ii.
you're born like a time bomb, with
only so many beats of
your heart in place to tick away day by day -
your words, they're the same.
there's a time limit
on your tongue, so say something that
means something - use words
that dig in and rip out hearts, use words that
curl around your fingers and worm their

I Have Loved the Stars Too Fondly
These vast expanses broader than the skies
And deeper than the ocean, just as blue
Are unobtainable from where the view
Is struck by light and hidden from my eyes.
Oh marvels of the farthest-reaching space,
Oh nebulae, oh planets, ancient stars,
Already naked eyes have fought such wars
To glimpse beyond the darkness to your face.
And light which grows with centuries has bled
Still higher in the night and drowned you out.
My city home has left my eyes in doubt
That worlds of breathless beauty I have read
Exist, nor are they found where'er I look:
All space confined in pages of a book.

untitled.she sat on the sun
melting, burning
just to glow as bright as the stars.
things were never as easy as they say
and when she climbed to the top, she needed rest
she sat on the sun.
she saw she had gotten nowhere
and her tears ran freely down her face
melting, burning.
she screamed into the cosmos
sacrificing her lungs to deep space
just to glow as bright as the stars.
Spaceeeee. ♥
