colliding in space

Feb 03, 2004 21:46

as my eardrums yielded to my body's pressure
i would whisper thickly to you but
what would carry my words to you-
exploding in your own right
our eyes would swirl off together:
a tiny quartet of mutual revolution
our shirts, torn to pieces by the bloom
of ribcages, would create magnificent
venues of billowing cotton and polyester
our muscles would unfurl: a red carpet
for two unlucky hearts to make their debut
they would go
careening toward each other
would collided and spawn
an asteroid, a sad love story
and my whisper would hang in the cosmos:

“the stars are beautiful tonight”

-al kostalas

this is my new favorite poem (other than my #1 favorite ;) )
I LOVE IT...wow...just take it in
