Star Burst

Personal Reflection 1 Minute 
A billion years ago
I must've swallowed a star
just a tiny one
with pointy edges
occasionally prickly

but also 
a lucky birth light
carrying and carried
all this time -

presumed eternal.

Last night it burst -
all the shards of it
pressing into 
the extremes
of my torso

sputtering and flickering 
the painful throes
slicing up my sleep
sparklers
made of knife blades

celebrating fear

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
