Soon, Said I, We'll Know

Bruised constellations
Great sparkling expanses
That miss teeth
and wince
There are listless stars
which wander like lost fireflies
blinking butterfly kisses
on heaven's pale cheek
Surrender to black roar
Starfish sleeping silently
in saline solitude
dreaming of light, maybe
Out on the roof
and the clouds left hours ago
slowly
Ash drifts lazily through
careless air
Embers yawning under
abandoned char
Endless blasphemy
We, infinite as space beyond space
The night, weightless and crushing
I heard myself exhaling
I saw you laughing

-Wisconsin?
