in the up

[dredpiratebunny]

breathing is hard again
a soul collapsed like a lung left behind
the labours of her loves
her 3 chances gone
the world sees her differently
the world raises her on pedestals and platforms
and shiny heeled shoes
she weeps
tears frozen from the get go
up so high
and matching the remains of her heart
a secret in her cavity
a hole made whole
one toe marks the fall
the thinning air
the illusory cushioning of the clouds
the ache she has for gravity again.
she remains
impaled
learning the patterns of the stars
untouched.

so heavy
he struggles to open his eyes
and the flashes of blue and white
stars or just pain
bracing for impact
but there is no sound
no wailing cry to accompany the tears
and above him the sky has gone dark
but for pinpricks
torn holes in the universe allowing the
incandescent bulb behind the paper shine through
so heavy
his heart empty
poured out like a river and drained
he cannot take another step
but he cannot stay here
this place is not home
so heavy
he lifts his hands to his face
he struggles to his feet
he leans awkwardly against the firmament
and moves on.
