prompt: write a poem that states the things you know.
…
a human footstep is light
except when they are crying
when they sleep
lovers are not separate
the child is mine
they’ll see the resemblance when she falls in love
i gather the shimmer
when i face the darkness
i hope they will stay here
it feels so good to give life
aya was right
though she walked the wrong way
i hold her memories
when she’s ready i’ll slip them back into her
e— is a long lost descendant
of our sun
she belongs here
it is their love that sparked my orbit
but of course the universe is a swoon
