"A one-way ticket to space, please."
"These coins can’t get you anywhere"
I poured my silver lined heart
on the desk
"Ma’am this is all I have"
“I am afraid that is not enough"
I plucked my crystal tears
drew the rubies in my veins
I picked out my pearly eyes
they rolled like silk into her hands
"Enjoy your trip"
But
As I stood on the observation deck
Before the inky canvas
freckled with glistening stars
I realised
I had no
Eyes to see
hearts to please
Not even a tear to weep
Just a vessel
With a metaphoric soul
And a one-way ticket to space.
