sex between the planets and the stars and whatever else is out there in space

When a star collapses within itself,
the destruction is undeniable and cruel.

The planet-encrusted shrapnel slams
in between the lungs of the bystanders with their
emerald breastplates and the ashes of their parents
tucked in between their toes so that if they perish.
they won’t die alone.

As the universe let out a heaving sigh of surrender,
I looked at you up on your Jupiter throne and wondered if
you helped create this universe for the sake of destroying it.
Your crown was made of a rose-gold only obtained down in marthart.
It was studded with diamonds that looked like daisies
that you plucked from the bushes outside your castle.

I presented you a sword and as i tore it from its sheath
I nicked an artery just below your hip and I didn’t notice as the blood
flooded the kitchen like you were Noah and the world was your arc.
I could see the domino-effect of explosions encircling your pupils,
the yellow sundresses were replaced with black trench coats;
you didn’t want anyone to see the red.

I traveled in my orange space ship to retrieve what ever
I had decided would fulfill you that day,
losing sleep to a harsh reality of 6 am wake ups and 2 am studying sessions.

I approached the throne when it became clear the apocalypse
had a strong chance of obliterating the universe we so carefully
crafted while we chipped our nails and you scratched your neck.
I always thought we were satisfied with the end result,
but i’ve discovered humans aren’t simple.

I asked you with my voice like Neptune,

When you held him, did you feel me?
In the royal bed, lying on the pillow I cradled you on when your kingdom
faced revolt, did you love him like you loved me? Did you explore him
like how you explored me? Did you know every mark on his body?
did you know him like you knew me?
Did he make you feel safe?
Did he make you feel fulfilled?

Your tears slid down my wrist like morning dew
and as I raised my voice I wondered where we’d gone.

As you shuddered behind your maroon gown,
I wondered where the hope had gone,
where the laughter had gone.

As the stars popped like balloons around us,
I wondered where I’d go next.

As our creation destroyed itself from the inside out,
I looked at you and I saw a stranger,
a parasite controlling the person I so desperately fought for,
and as I wielded my sword for one final fight,
I couldn’t help but wonder,
