in earnest, astro-weather

5/18/24

i've tied and retied the knots

words threading this way and that, what will be the perfect line to loop to her

around Jupiter?

and join the Sun in shouting out an invitation

to continue a conversation

with a friend i lost

i can be a lot

what's the perfect knot?

the threads loosen and refuse

and melt to goop

a cosmic, magical solar-infused

alphabet soup.

big planet be my megaphone to him

i'm not acting on a whim

but felt deeply into this

and here i am.

the spirit mail, or spell:

we all get overwhelmed

please convey that

my heart is in a better place to hold itself.
