I say, “I am the sky now”

decide to tattoo my birth chart wind the constellations in a halo a lasso wound down to earth needling accumulative infliction in flecks wisperwhispers hold me all around you when we come together points of fading light rendered in black ink resisting the break in line refusing to draw it passing the needle through the camelskin stinging singing giddy flamepain unraveling rendition of prickly prism light transiting through states of matter and mediums all inhabited and harbored without any more understanding than sensation expands expansive sifting light through thin wet veils the gummy gossamer membranes of time and space spliced lashes congealed with the salience of tears a frothing ocean
