thinking

i want to

throw my head

back

in the purple sky,

the tendrils

of my hair

catching the stars.

i want to see the sun

with my eyes

closed

my fingertips

running gently

over the golden shell.

i want to give my limbs

to my soul

and swing

to Venus

without looking

for Mars.

but i need to know.

is there a world

that lies beyond

mine

and where does it

lead to.

so i give my heart

to the fires

in my head

and never close my eyes

until they do.

i will never

sleep on the moon

because i need to

know.
