this life is worth it all in the end

there's something inside your ribs 
and it's beating 
and it's alive. 

can you hear it? 

there's blood pulsing through your veins 
electricity in your brain 
nerves always firing under your skin 
a universe expanding within your lungs 
and it's real, this is all real 
this has always been you. 

(look around you. breathe. listen.) 

stars died to smelt you, my love 
everything had to come together perfectly 
so you could 
exist. 

impossibilties are real after all. 

(this was meant to be.) 

it's as if you realize that you belong here
you always have
and you can't be happier that you are, because

this life is worth it all in the end.

    the snake is hungry 

    so the snake will eat 

    and eat it does, chewing, gnawing, 

    and will you ever notice, little thing, 

    that it is your own tail 

    you are swallowing? 

     

  • abalone

    from salt and foam and scales 

    steal the hearts of stone 

    nacreous shells, dying husks, 

    the honey-sweet flesh that once 

    clung to its bones 

    to die of thirst. 

  • eschatology

    meet me at the end of the world 

    the space between firestorms and tsunamis 

    across the acid oceans 

    and here, where the rot 

    has begun to reclaim the cities at last.
