Eye of Orion
with a smack of wonder & a crack of sorrow
we begin this day
our most ingenious universe
is the one where we exclaim “fuck!
this is amazing!”
cartoon galaxies spinning
out around the finite infinite
so crowded & yet
so alone
our hearts bursting with
kaleidoscopic roller coaster madness
an old man marries a young man
a woman bares her breasts to the world
& i feel so all alone at night
except when i don’t
no tranquility
no peace
but the exuberant breakdown of shadows & lies
a holy laugh in
the face of abject darkness
& when it all falls apart
what can you do
but cry & crack up?
am i right?
This made me cry. Beautiful.
Wow! Thank you!
