My dream
is to cut like a knife
to the center of the universe
my lifeblood
spilling and spinning
to touch the bright core of your souls
so you know
that it's okay
to shed your lithospheres
shake off your magma burns
and let the light of your own poetry
supernova into the stars

and make everyone's galaxies
a little brighter

My dream, as a poet, is to change the world for the better, one letter and line at a time.
