interplanetary medium, 2011

Push away, push away,

I'm just residue of cosmic rays.

Aurora leaks through magnetic cracks,

riding backs of solar winds.

Poke holes in the cellophane,

**** in the sunny dust;

universe can fill me up

but it's never quite enough.

My skin is bored and leaves me,

my insides throb without their shell

my mind's a traitor and defeats me

dressed like a heart, grey matter swells.

 

Plasma swimming, again

aimless, still seeking; charging

pent-up venom, radiation

singes the surface as my fingers explore.

If I can't feel your magnetic field

pressed against me, like the moon

I will bury pieces below your surface,

little pockets of cancer,

warm and unflinching.

Then I'm gone again,

gone to lay dormant

in the interplanetary medium:

undulating electricity,

sparks of stars to cauterize me to you.
