The Universe Is Just A Word

 Your moving muscles that have calcified
and your healing crystals have petrified

Violently blending words
like you're ashamed of your brain

Attempting to launch yourself into the stars
on a paper plane
while trying to deconstruct a falling star
with your pen

Recreating a dead universe
with ink made from its dust

Spiraling galaxies going down
down
down
and out
through the tips of your fingers
