The Stars Bleed

the color of a living death

the stars shine

the stones bleed

light is trapped

and then violently

released

to make it new life

after it was that death

in bloody rocks

all life it lives 

inside of that

before the death it takes

and recycles it

into what it is 

into what is was ever going to be

like that thing you loved so dearly much . . .

so, no one's really too far behind

so, don't worry dear too very much

not about all that is you've found
and not about all you have to give back

it is you see, from the middle you see
 is where you see all of this

 those stars and dirt and flesh

and it's in the end it is when

 you join the rest of us..  in depth

you will see, in death
