the moment you leave the heaviness
engulfs me
edges of vision blurry and
my body frozen.

Seeing a smatter of silly showmen
Showing their shiny skills and smiles
Smirking and twinkling in every moment
Superb in every mile.

Silly showmen sow what they reap
They shed their skin to a brighter one beneath
Shall we all become silly showmen
To smile and shine in silly showmanship?

I want to string the strands of your hair between my fingertips,
Universe beaded in threads of boundless night sky.
I am a black hole, a singularity of compressed hopes,
Millions of light years away from the way your tired
smile powers my heart. The way your ghost
eyes haunt the pumping of matter
lost in infinities surrounded by nothingness for
eternity.
