System
Room full of stars
Room full of tiny explosions in glass orbs
Snow globes shaken
Coating the world in gold
It will drain down the walls
The air crying itself into light
Maybe these are eyes let loose from their bones
Souls on ice
Here are the hanging Christmas lights of the world
Light free from itself kissing space
The universe in its spheres
Singing

Poem-A-Day #186 : Nostalgia
Nostalgia
In the dark fields of summer - the heat escapes us
it crawls into the sky in tendrils of smoke - it creeps
Our heat is a suck - the roads hoard it like money
This isn't some theft - the universe gives no fucks
The day collapses - it shatters - it is our job
to find the pieces and to stick them together with gold
To hold this moment in our minds - perfect it
The pressure of our remembering will diamond it
until it is something that cannot ever have existed
An inner-earth ocean full of monsters
The darkness will not stay dark here - it will recede
it will become the light on the surface of a lake - your eye
It will also degenerate with time - it will never be a photograph
like the heat held in pavement - the night will leech it off
In the dark fields of summer - the heat escapes us

to find the pieces and to stick them together with gold
To hold this moment in our minds - perfect it
The pressure of our remembering will diamond it
