Falling To Earth
I was once in gaze,
my swaddling robes
were saffron fibers
and interlaced
my skin
a nebula
driftless
I pulsed,
and every eve
was a glimmer
circling a necropolis
of double-stars
alone,
apart from the mosaic
finally,galaxies away
I fell from the firmament
my trajectory
earth
swathed now in mantles of dirt
moss grows between my toes
I pulse with life again
while the colour’s
of being earthbound
bind me,
my skin interlaced again
in Technicolor
