Slippery Grasp


Like water,
I slip out of your grasp.

No solid earth
to hold me.

Nothing for you 
to contain my being, 

as I fill up 
and
empty out

all that I am,
over and over.

A vase
full of 
mess and broken beautiful
flowers.

You wish to hold me. 

But,
you don't know how.

Silver Ashes


Silver ashes falling from the sky.

A bird flies past,
oblivious
to the changes arriving
to change a life
that is already broken.

If we have to give up something up
-for another life-

What is it going to be?

Knowing Pluto
will take everything 
away from us.

An Underworld
that wants our lives
for us.

Only we 
act
as though
we don't even 
want it.

Giving it up like an unwanted gift,
and 
asking for it back
after burning it
to ashes.

Supernova Heart

Come and sit with me
in your little star 
in the sky.


Waiting for your supernova.

Black hole
losing its grip
on 
our fear of love.

I can
and
I will

light you up,

like 
there was never a broken heart
to start with.

Eject the mass,
and 
be ready to burst open.

Love like the night-time sun.
