Orion’s Belt

  • Dec 28, 2025

Last night I dreamt


the constellations were wrapped around my waist


Orion’s Belt


pressing into my hip bones.

Last night I dreamt


the constellations curved my back.

Printed into my chest.


I slept with the sky,

freckled


like the inside of your elbows.

I’ve been airborne


given way to gravity,


given in to gravity.

I was once lifted


by your gravity.

I was among the constellations once.

The constellations grieve, too.

lifeline pt. 2

 

it is now at 5:25 on a monday evening 

that i realize what has kept me here 

i am surviving off of dead poets & living ones

their souls live by keeping mine alive

i am here because 

one stanza 

one sentence 

one word 

found my breath 

worth taking 

 

each one a compression on my chest saying 

just one more day 

 

poets never die
