heaven among us

i’ve been asking

so many questions

recently.

why, and how does it feel

and when

and

-how?

i have one more left

(one more i promise)

        (she hides a smile)

how does it feel to be what

you need?

to stitch your own wounds?

to be the stars in your own sky?

to love enough to

end the universe,

and still keep some of

that love for yourself?

it feels like heaven on earth.
