Poems
Apr 2012
stargirl
her tightrope
was a feather,
balance weighing
on the tips of wings
held suspended
above the ground
summer skin
taut
against her bones,
thousands of stars
threaded beneath
each of her freckles
she found solace
in satellites,
the man in the moon
winking from his place
among the planets
she felt
galaxies
coursing through
her veins, the Milky Way
bubbling up
from her belly
and
somewhere
within --
tiny heartbeats
mirroring the shower
of asteroids
falling
from the sky
They never get uptight when a moth gets crushed,
unless a lightbulb really loved him very much --
(Elliott Smith)
