star
spinning star
sing a song to me
this night
my feet are cool
my heart warm-ing
my skin
to clay
sing me a song
whole
note up the night
until it breaks
and we find ourselves
covered in its shards
we can pack them up
piece together ourselves
again
file it under how we learned to fly
this time
i’ll strap the sky-wings
to your back first
canyon rim
soar
and i will see
eternity
shining off your blackened back
then
icarus-dives
into dust
broken, each
and laughing
we will expire those
breaths dry
cough out the day
seep into the cracks
at the first light
and hide
in the bellies of worms
and we will laugh
star
we will laugh
