The actors you hire are good,
convincing even, to some
But I see you underneath the show

Pity the fool who does
not believe words can
change lives

Arctos: The product of an affair*
Callisto, single mom to a Little Bear–
Cronusly confined to the night sky,
never kissing the ocean

like cracking peanuts or chewing gum
(Hands and mouths,

But shells are messy,
and flavor is easily lost
You must sweep up
and spit out

only the flame
But I am so close to burning out;

                slipping through
                your fingers
