CIVIL WARS

this one almost tucked herself under Muse blankets
im not sure what scares me more
to catch myself holding candles or
to feel like pupils will always get larger anyways
i guess it doesn’t matter,
The Star (XVII) – thinks not anyway
she likes to remind us that constellations exists even in Arizona summers.
like a sketch of sunspots from a start over sky
a zodiac trial easily lost, or won
life has a funny way of reminding you
it’s still living that way
and it wasn’t for lack of effort – i truly did cocoon
but Rams cut through those chrysalis
even the unconfessed ones
the “not now” and “maybes” and “if only’s” nympha
tried to put a pin in each excuse
because “not now” is easier than “im scared.”
