Universe and You

your heart moves slow
like the earth.
so i wished i was your sun.
but i've let you make me your
mourning moon.

---

i ask you about your day.
you think i'm relentless.
so you look into space.

---

i find truth between your fingers
when they describe some
supremely creative vision
to some supremely creative people.

but
i wish i could find truth
in one of the intricate labyrinthine
pathways to your heart.

---

i work too hard
for a fate
that deceives me.

i fight my wars
with my dreams
for a slippery reality.

i forsake my
universe
for disquieting seas.
