Why else would we emit light?
Why else would we fall from the heavens?
Throughout the lives of humans we have practiced the art of
grabbing attention.
We bend over backwards to get you to look up.
And believe me its hard enough as it is with the moon for
competition.
She’s so large and flashy.
That’s why we starts help each other.
You would never notice one of use suspended above you.
But with all of use combined theirs no way you can ignore
us.

She ran after him.
Actually, she followed him.
She was blinded by his all around togetherness.
She followed him all the way from Billings, Montana to
Provo, Utah.
She felt completely naked.
Stripped of everything that felt right.
But she had him, her nativity figurines, and Tropicana orange
juice.
All of which were comforts.
All of which made her feel normal.

The universe tastes like silver, tiny flecks of silver.
I first tasted the universe last night when my brother and I
drove out to the forest.
We brought a thick woolen blanket and we laid out under the
sky.
It tasted like the world right before it rains.
All silent and still, but the kind of silence that comes
before something big.
The universe tastes like something sacred.
I can put labels on it, can reference it to something
earthly, but its never quite right.
The universe tastes like something that I’ve never tried and
at the same time like everything I’ve ever tried.
