on Earth’s topographical skin

Pigmented epidermal cells
are being prosperity lullabied put to sleep
under the celestial lights

Sad news keep me awake;
Counting stars through the ceiling,
Hiding from the sun under my blanket,

Inside the nest of love 
Two chambers tucked together 
Side by side allowed to live
 Two opposite creatures 
In one, a bird of delight 
And a bug on the other

On its golden wings

A night walk under the starlit sky, 
Embracing its passersby.
Focused with a goal in his mind,
All obstructions had been left behind.

A breccia with different plans, 
Brought him down from his stance.

Watching the wilting dividers,
wanted to declock the time
in timeless death:
though life must move on.
After amputation, body waits to be lifted,
