you are so silly to think that i am something a body can hold
in my dreams i swallow the stars whole
i split the milky way straight down
the middle and drink up
whatever runs down to my tonuge
these are remnants of destroyed solar system i'm breathing in
i conspire to create in me something cosmic
the celestial spheres find their home in me
and a galaxy burns right beneath my ribs
perhaps now i will be luminous, perhaps now i will be glowing
i dream of consuming constellations
unaware of the universe already stitching my skin together
when i wake,
i feel the weight of heavenly bodies screaming
and the flash of a supernova fracturing
out of my mouth leaks out
the light of dead suns
these are the symptoms of starlight
and i've been glowing for awhile now
