stars

For Paco: Each time I call your name it bounces back like campfire sparks, I sing hello, where are you, how you been, its been a while, thanks, you are a genius, you are a fool, please do not do that, do not go out this way, still, you curl up into yourself and dream of nothing all night long, screaming and writhing, while stars beat light into my eyes a new day begins and ends and begins again, but not for both of us.
