Nauseous yellow,
deliberate,
and rising above
dying limbs.
Hungry, and full
it looms over,
watching the wicked
grow wings.
Some say the Moon
was once a piece of the Earth,
that during the fetal stages of
the solar nebula, it simply
span off, like a drunk dancing
in circles, his beer flung
from dizzy hands.
Others say that the Moon
followed the Earth home,
and was kept in the might
of gravity.
And yet, the theory I like
best is: Two angry, molten
planetesimals collided right
in our front yard and fought
for the Iron heart that
eventually got pulled inside
our world; explaining the
difference in composition
between the hungry,
and the greedy.
The wicked,
and the solemn
looking down at us,
waiting for another fight.

Celestial pillows
fluffed with stardust
Cosmic dreams encircle
the tortured hours
of my sleep
I wander
over the galactic halo
Visit globular clusters
Older than time itself
Visit years yet to be
Encounter lovers...
long lost
Engage planetesimals
of pain
Smashing together
in agony
of existence
Creation-
born of pain...
Collision of loves
Unmet, restless
Atoms of
disillusionment
Where are the words?
Where are the touches
Where are my loved
and faded stars
Galaxies apart
Clusters of hurt
Light eons
of time misplaced
The universe swarming
with life
and death...
In the end they are the same
And everywhere
Is the center of the universe
and you travel on forever
You are the center
of your universe
Rightfully so
Travel on...travel on
Gather wisdom
in your travels
Gather love of life
Whatever form it takes
We are all the same.
