storyteller

cast me up into
the stars and connect the dots
pull those strings until they
snap and hear it ring
out into the cosmos into

constellations stuck behind
the eyes and breath unfolding
in golden rays stretched too
thin to fill the universe

forget everything you’ve ever heard me say
it’s all just noise against the
resonant humming
of goddesses

those haunting, old songs
buzzing in an empty chest
luminous
just
warm
