September 2023
I made a pie out of the sun, Shares to share with its warmth — A morphed heart bestowed and transformed: I must have been looking at someone. “That is why you are here” Where nowhere becomes home. The previous tenants paid out their loan, And sporadic breathing was all I could hear. “Can we share a life?” Not the time to ask. “Can we love?” Not my decision to solve. “Welcome home!” Calling a ghost. “Where were you?” Words that withdrew. “I missed you.” Time flew. I made a pie out of the moon, Shares to share with its gloom — A cold soul yearning again to fly: I want to hold a smile and a heart. Paradoxically, where the heart bleeds; Alone in a grafted alley Lungs empty their cells: “Why can’t you ever find it by yourself?” Paradoxically, where the heart thinks; Linked and filled, Fear instills. “Why can’t you be alone for a bit?” Great Ghosts that ask of no one. Entertaining their boredom, Hiding fears of the Nothing, Blinking to dream.
