Flying Solo
A black Ocean consumes
as it pours forth
splitting heaven,
as stars fall to comets
and vortex into my
gasping mouth,
I swallow
every last spec of light
in my world
so overwhelmed
I spew endless streams
of angered refusal
and splutter embers
as my mouth burns
in the light of ever’s
I now know
to deny
from the world
the smallest scrap
of glimmers
is not to live
swimming free
from oceans
and regurgitated
Now,
I stand on
virgin beach
alone
consumed in light
