The sky convulses,
a star plummets, plunges
into the earth, and is gobbled
up by the soil— leaving
no signs of vitality
or decay.

The scars on her body seem
to leech the dopamine from
her veins― She felt that pain
is the residue of joy.

An infantile urge to
stretch a bedsheet
and pull to reach a
toy just out of grasp
—a manifestation
of adult anxiety.

You don't know
where the kite goes.
You just have to
let it ride.

Breath finds its
way to the ribs.
How do we draw
love near?

Sometimes, it feels like
words have become
extinct dinosaurs,
Like the earth has
already sunk them
deep.

The feasts on her
chest nurture the
soft palates.
