Together In the Stars
You and I will dance among the stars
wistfully wilting across the willowy floor
falling upon our feet like fruit
collapsing to the chaotic grass
rolling around the hills, until we stop
and rest our hands together
softly, softly,
just a little ghost of a touch
for we are together
in the mounds beneath this tree
which has grown from our broken bones
and fed upon our chanting moans
through our pulp and our pureed stones
and we reach through our nutrient
towards the sky, lifting our arms high
Take me away!
Take me above the clouds
and the atmosphere
the smog and the smoke
and the toxic fumes
let me die among the emptiness
be something, among nothing at all
and fitfully I'll twist myself
to never fall, and never rise
and never be
but I am sick
of this resistance on my hands
as I slap the wind.
Let me be free.
