I am made fragile
by the beauty of the stars
by their sharp edges
and fierce burning
a glass heart cracking
beneath the weight
of the sky

Thank you. 🥰

There’s so much potential magic in vessels, for good or ill. The holding of things. ❤️

she is
an unfit container
for all they want her to hold

she has
shaped herself
into this flat aspect

a table
when all they want
is a bowl

she forges folds
into her paper heart
crafting crisp creases
with fingers aching
to crumple

it’s a strange thing
to fall in love
with a poem

to yearn
after stanzas
and s y l l a b l e s

to smile as a simile
to hold a metaphor
like a dire breath

stay with me, love
oh stay, in this momentary now

every breath
a brief bookmark
in a story we can’t
bear to close

there are shards
in this sunshine
slivers of warmth
that burrow beneath
the chill stratum of my skin
rewriting the language
of the shadowed
bones within

she is
a farmer of bones
and other broken things

her heart
a sacred scythe
hungry for the harvest

marrow melts like butter
into the corners
of her smile

she has
held herself
as a wary whisper
and roared herself
as a summoning storm

oh, love
murder me no flowers
fill my vases with moonlight
and the gentle magic
of your quiet
affections

oh, love
the way
the sky reaches
to touch your face
with its sun-puddles
and soft dapplings
of reverent shadow
