a red dwarf

you come from stars

that that have collapsed

into energy that no planet

has known before

for there has been no knowing

before you

there collapsed

and without a plan

but still hoping that

the universe will go your way

even though

it already has

*

you are the universe

discovering itself

with limbs that linger

into loss but find

that nothing ever leaves

just change

always

*

chip a piece from the universe like a loose tooth

and i’ve fallen from my bed again

not sure what i dreamt of

something somewhere in the stars

with you there with me

now looking at the day pouring red

mouth trying to reach out

to the red wheelbarrow

that carries the earth

in worn hands and hugs

until i realize

my lifetime

is a span of 30 days

eating drinking and shitting

while the

the universe

toothless and slobbery

devours me daily
