gift


radio silence 
while the masses murmur 
there is disconnect! 
we block, and it is futile 
it's not my name in black font urging you 
it's not a pixellated smile spicing your



open spaces 

that compels your memory 
we can't block dreams 
my Captain! 
and in dreams i see your golden eyes! 
how am i under your skin still 
how can you explain why 
even in the shadow of your dark star 
you still feel 
the warmth of my sun 
one dear sweet licorice strong and dark force 
into which you spiral 
a constant compact death 
granting you security in our electromagnetic state 
she is your well 
and me that 
dispersing 
pervasive 
light 
from which you cannot hide 

i wish my love for you were shelter! 
i wish i were fusion 
could collapse 
in mass 
and you could hold the 
fantastic weight of me in your 
cupped and loving hands 
i wish i did not blind your golden sight 
or sear your heart and make you 
turn away 
yet still you turn away! 
you in your universe, why the need to 
fly 
we share this ether even she and 
yes, i 

one year, dear Captain 
you gave me a present 
and it was your heart, the shape 
still hums right here
where you left it 
and all i could give you 

truly 

was your freedom 
in return 

we had to meet in the 
all of things 
the destiny 
and we had to twine 
helix-like in time 
bound forever by loving forces 
in a sacred 
universe

love your dark star 
and love me too for being 
one 
and for being 
an eternal part of 
everything 
we'll 
never comprehend.
