You stargazer
up to your ankles
in leaf litter
moonwatcher
roots wrapped around stones
polished, muddled.
I am a star
my shards shine like soft
scars desperate for dirt
drenched in depth
where you stare
I exist.
So empty, you’re filled
so full, I explode
my crumbs, asteroids
pores emit air
betray inhumanity
soles of feet hover
lest I dive
chained
caught underwater.
Iridescence opens gates
twists locks and
lifts weights
and breathes life
into
stargazers.
Explode daily
rise, sunshine and
stuff yourself
into a human shaped house.
