Ravage My Soul: A Poetry Anthology

Take Orion's belt and time me a noose with it Let the scorpion poison me I'll walk until I can reach a star Alpha Centauri greets the black horizon Ruminate: If I could only hold it in my palm - I rob it from God ignorantly, and he decides my treacherous destiny It sears my flesh The atrocious star causes so much pain But I grasp it tighter and tighter Till my bones feel the heat Till my marrow boils Then I offer you my star And you wish upon it . . . Never To See Me Again
