INSIDE STARS

Scratches on my skin

bleeding in.

Bleeding, in the smile, blue ink

White teeth stained in navy

Oceans crazily sinking in.

Drowning in my waves

I collect stars...

of each pain,

of each scar.

I contemplate their shiny faces,

their flashing eyes

on the veil of the sky,

while remembering their births

(and the first cry).

I hear their existence...

I want to let them fall behind.

I know of their existence

and how they want me to be kind.

Soft touch on my skin

Blowing in...

I feel their twinkles and the sparkles

on the breath of the wind.
