STAR WEEK
Riding this Wave
Sky Collection — Poem 104
That slogan, on the bumper: “Giant Meteor 2020 Just end it already” I look up I am nothing We vote We lose I see starlight in your eyes I’m awake It is everything You are everything This year, this sky This middle age I know I am riding This wave of futility Rise above I will for you.
Stargazing past this storm Drinking in trauma Desensitization potions Some new therapy I’m afraid to try It might help you sleep She said I will exist still We can play camping S’mores in the microwave Tents in the house This isn’t all there was This can’t be all there was.
