Rapidly beating
your heart against my ear
as Han Solo's son
rammed a lightsaber
through his chest
I could hear
the beat-beat-beat
reverberating through
layers of blanket, cloth, and skin
sitting next to you
on the couch
thumping loudly and steady
without fear
so let's begin
on a star searched journey
where the spaceships hovel
and the robots swivel
in a galaxy not that
far away from reality
it's like swallowing starlight
or slicing through dark trees
heavy with snow
hearing them crack-crack-crack
from a buzzing vibration
of the blue lightsaber at hand
watching the trees crash, then
clash against red
a struggle unsaid
but when I rested my head
against your slight frame
something within me
melted.
(I guess my heart was tamed.)
