take thoughts, like stars, conjure more

i have words on words on words,

spoken and conjured and concentrating

in the air between us -

taking on new forms.

we're picking holes in the universe,

don't you see it unravelling?

until we see its lace-like pattern,

joining it back together in new songs.

prodding at the edges, watching

the light bend.

it's like waves pushing against my skull,

thoughts blinding and running down

my arms, escaped my skull,

buzzing to be heard.

hear it -

a soft sigh like a book closing.

it's easier to see in the dark.

we'll be here, existing between,

sharing the darkness. and

you could describe the stars

and i would listen.
