From the Mouth of the Stars II: With a Heart That Burns as Stars Will

in a seed
beneath the tongue of the Earth
a song
carries forth your body
from our Mother’s molten womb

you are born
a boy
with ambition reflecting
as the Moon carries the light of the stars

your arms
bury into the skin of our Mother
you carry the journey
of the spaces between the heavens
and our earth

a seed
of the spaces in between
you will live until those spaces

are no longer
