God & The Devil
Fantasists
we became those people overnight,
fantasists who daydream holding
hands and speak in whispers of ‘true love’
like nothing came before a kiss across
the console of a Chevy Cruz or
will exist without space curvature
across the low points of
our spines…

i’ve fanned the flames
and lost myself in
your geometry.

Less than Tragedy
~
dense remnants of sky
are crushed into exhaustion
inside neutron stars
hot pulses, i have
felt from weakness with
my concentration
energetically
behind cold matter i am
less than tragedy.

Nucleosynthesis
i think I have been lost
in something heavier
each day, collisions
with a neutron star
or solid gold;
these karats
scalding patterns
in the shape of
my carotid artery.

Brave Before Cold
How Fast the Earth Moves
I thought about the earth today
and standing still; the light from
stars already gone, as we fall
forward into orbit without
feeling – I could take your
lips in mine and promise
you the moon if only it
were mine to give.

Doubt the Stars
doubt the stars but not their light:
her breath replaces oxygen in fire
and I am haunted every day by solar
whispers in the wind; a voice has
fractured time; the earth has fell
away and milkweed brings the
butterflies to life.
