the sun switched on like a night light, ignited, now it’s been slain by his own mother
Split into two as an atom
The sunniest part melting down, like a soupy mess
Into the moon
Lighting her up
Like a new lover
The star below, her new supply of narcissism
Craved deliverance.
“You once told me you loved me,” the star cried.
“Do not lie, I never did.”
The pain of being so viscerally slain
Was like rebirth, so painful
Wretched, alone
More alone than any living creature on the earth,
Agony stretching her star-veins.
