Knowing I'm intertwined with the night sky keeps me from falling apart
The seams will tear with every pull of panic and fear
But the gravity of the dark abyss will call me near
Drawing inspiration from the constellations
Something about the stars helps me connect the dots within myself
I'm collecting my messes and giving them a name
Like a supernova I will shine brighter once I shatter
Let this broken mess matter

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
