it’s not like the Sun sets
beside you
or the Moon shines on
your path alone.
while you’re
strutting through land marks
leaving blood as graffiti,
white cell letters,
clogged artery sentences,
circumnavigating the globe.
stepping stones
scraping bones
struggle to step
to the sky.
a giant among these
pebbles of people.
the mountains of rope
cutting off circulation
held by expectations.
your attentions,
affections,
intentions are waning,
the Moon is waxing
not shining
on your path.
Sun rising even
farther from you
and you rise next to me.
rising Star, setting sun
set it in stone, set it stoned
wispy smoke of your dreams
breathe in streams.
my world.
Your playground.
court me.
