And I beg the stars for a chance,
at light and love
steps above
what I’ve ever known
and never known
Owning feet furiously fixed
to the ground
I need my sounds to
change to echoes of clusters
of luster and
my only hope for solace
Take me to flight,
rocket made of woes
Burst to the galaxy and explode
litter the earth a rebirth,
gas exchange I’m changed,
I’m rearranged to glow,
showing sides never eyed by
those not beside
My face stays the
same now it’s
tame now
I’m game now
these star showers,
on the hour
power restored
I beg no more
Slates of midnight
my new state of war
