I want to float into the moon tonight
just slip my body thru its skin
like a breath sinkin into water
the air leavin me without a sound
the world slippin outa reach
risin til gravity forgets I exist
sound foldin in on itself
fillin myself with its glow
as I tip my head back to drink it
to let it bleed down my throat
to let it dissolve my bones with its essence
I feel like I could swallow the sky whole
and I swear I’ve been here before
not as a man pacin his yard
but as a god at the edge of the universe
palms cradlin the stars
light breakin between my fingers
yes…
I’ve touched this before
the sky hums in my blood
like it remembers who I’ve been
reelin my nerves towards it
tides risin in my veins
the air pullin hard against my ribs
my chest melts open
spillin light into the dark
every breath takin me higher
every heartbeat another step off the edge
the glow crawls under my skin
fills the empty places inside of me
til I’m nothin but pulse and fire
til the ache slides off my skin
til the world drops away from my feet
and there’s no fall
no flight
only the slow unmakin
the soft surrender
the endless up
This flow of thought makes me think of the mind transporting itself to ancient times when the rulers worship the sun and the moon. Nicely done
