Elegy
Just Minutes Before. Honorable Mention in Negative Space Challenge.
And maybe I’m reading into it, I tell myself it’s burnt a little then eat it anyway ‘cause I’m hungry. If I knew all the words for touching my hands would be free for feeling, touching all the words I can't reveal, my hands would be free of feeling. But here I am on the top step feeling, topless, feeling speechless feeling numb feeling, topless feeling—folded over feeling sun feeling my head hoovering— folded over no feelings feeling no words feeling my head hovering inches above the concrete feeling no feeling.

WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP
There is a Korean show called "When The Stars Gossip" and it is a bittersweet but wonderful story with one of my favorite actresses in it. It is the prompt to this wee brain that said what if the Stars are the true Gods? I always reflect on the Voyager picture of Earth as it heads out into the universe and how insignificant in size compared to the cosmos we are. Are the Gods we worship as small? In the end does the color of a person's skin matter? I can barely see the Earth much less even make out the borders in that final leaving picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
