The universe must be a teenage girl. So much darkness, so many stars.<br /> --me


I gather up the wheat

of silvery words from the page, the silver stalks of sunbaked wheat—

and polish the vine with my tears

and redeem the old sky that is still shining on us and I gather up

the fruit of the morning and I leave the seeds

in their shadow homes to grow forsaken.

I am gathering my leaves about my tree self and I will grow

 my own roots

 and I will grow my own roots.
