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.
