her shadow turned to ash
and she sat lusting after
foreign stars, imagining
rolling them over in the
softness of her hands
answering every question with a whisper

fold my heart in half
veins map an untraveled path
origami life
brief moment’s respite
a gasp devoured by swift lungs
unleashed on the wind
