Final Breath of a Dying Star

Her knees kiss the earth

as her calloused yet gentle hands

rips open her white shirt

exposing her vulnerable foundation.

Heavy breaths coat the night

soft whimpers escape her mouth.

It seems like too much

but it was hers to bear

and hers to release.

Rhythmic thumps and long sighs

under the chest

(this is what it feels like to hold cosmic light

in the veins and a heart exposed to gamma rays)

Warm tears paint the grass under her knees

as her heart chakra

opens…

Revealing the mark that has been birthed

throughout many lifetimes

just to die to

seed the galaxy

(she carries it well)

A pulsating white light

forces out of her chest

towards the graveyard of orbs in the night sky.

A scream echoes

and a beautiful pain

vibrates the earth.

Her love illuminating the galaxy

One

Time

(the final breath of a dying star).
