Becoming and Coming
What words I must invent for us
dreamers in each other’s eyes
ensnared in love and dust and furies
shining stars picked from
fingertipped night skies
a hallowed sea, a seaful of eyes
full of the glories of creatures
becoming and coming
our skin the sieve of selves
flown and knowing
bleeding and believing creation in each other’s eyes.
Our love is suns’ fusions thick
Our love is suns’ fusions thick
Fashioning meteors’ star-tipped misted musics
Across a stretched sheet of star-pured universe
One hand full of God’s slowed love
One night full of starred and starring you
Globes are suns are skull-shifting weight
Planet’s axes re-align to gravity’s seed
North and south and south and north combined.
Our dark matter is beginningless.
Liquid divides the air, to heaven’s level.
Our glory comes from such.
Of the Universe and My Insects
The universe is in my head
Leaking out by drips
Through bone holes without edges
Eaten by insects
Desperate to crawl
To horizons
For horizonless suns.
The insects are relentless. The insects will not rest.
They breed meticulously
Cleaning antennae
Of bits of dreams while
I tend the larvae.
