Spiral Galaxies

A poem with an unreliable narrator

There is chaos in the world of night.

A certain chaos that sheds a most

Hideous

Light.

The fading red of loved ones now dead

Fill the sickened vision of us locked

In this

Invisible

Prison.

Scream then through the pain

As the blood in your heart stains

The fools glorified

For saving face,

Hiding

In this place.

I remember the shape of you

Pressed against my mouth,

The planes of you

Begging

For stillness.

This creature has been made

From the depths of your own

Desires

You know.

But it isn't just the shape of your

Nightmares and dreams

That I remember

Loving

In vivid detail.

I remember the wet sound

Of your fear as you begged

The universe to give up

Every last one of its

Secrets

For you.

What an arrogant dream!

Commanding the cosmic heart

To dance to your own

Rhythm

And blues.

You are nothing to the arms

Of a galaxy older than thought.

Nothing

Even to me.
