The Universe

The sky is alive

Like a living person

The universe; she cries, she bleeds,

She feels

Stars are tears

Gathered in the corners of eyes

They spill over and fall to the ground

Can you see her cry?

Make a wish

The universe is always sad

She's always hurt

Bruises blossom in shades of purples and blacks and blues

Cuts and lacerations bleed stardust and planets

Creating solar systems and constellations from her pain

So everyone on earth can bask in its beauty

The universe is a beautiful when she's hurt and when she cries
