The Stardust Inside Me

Today I learned

That fragmented stars course throughout our blood

As adrenaline floods, particles of stardust join it

Creating celestial showers inside us

Wrinkling in our eyes as phosphenes

.

I think that we were born from the same star.

When I am with you,

The iron stirs inside my chest,

Screams inside my fingers

Gleams inside my eyes

Dances drunkenly inside my stomach.

But everything is completely still

A planet paused in the midst of its orbit.

My mind sings in music so shrill but the most symphonic

And the flaming anxieties in my mind are chilled

When you hold me in your arms,

The stars inside me burst into supernovae

A garden of cosmic lights

Red, gold, green, and blue

Does it happen to you, too?
