Made in Cosmos

Poems

I prayed for language
To sing out loud this joy confusion 
And bliss

Now I’m back here
And words don’t make any sense

Why of all things I chose language
I have no idea

  • Take me

    I’m tired
    Rolling this boulder uphill
    Wasn’t the best use
    Of my time

    I’ve had enough
    From now on please

    Take me
    Wherever you want

    Deepest ocean trenches or
    The heart of a black hole

    Take me
    On an adventure
    I can’t even imagine

  • Give in

    take this cup away from me
    please

    the medicine
    knocked me down seasick

    again

    all i can do
    is cry and laugh

    and give in to this

  • Disappear

    One day
    I’d like to relax
    Take a break

    From this burning through
    The atmosphere
    At full speed

    But I’m worried
    I might just
    Disappear

  • This dance

    Give me all
    Of your rage
    Hatred bewilderment
    And grief

    I’m gonna
    Swallow them whole
    Laugh scream dance
    Shout and cry

    This dance
    With madness
    Is all you need
    To break through free

    Let’s open
    Up the gates
    And bathe in
    The blinding light

  • Betelgeuse

    Don’t ask me
    Why I tried to
    Swallow the Ocean again

    No human heart
    Can contain
    Koalas war and Betelgeuse

    Pieces of me
    Cloud of debris
    Around what’s left of our world

    It was the Ocean
    That swallowed me

    Grinding all back
    Into stardust

  • Siren’s song

    I’m not here to take care of you
    I’m not here to protect you

    I’m here to lure you all the way
    To the edge of a cliff

    I’m gonna tempt you with my siren’s song
    Of what’s beyond

    Until you have no more choice
    But to jump

    And find it out for yourself

  • Infinity

    Infinity
    Is eating me alive

    I’d love to
    Sing you a song
    Of what it’s like

    But I’ve got work to do

  • Cosy sweaters

    Hold me tight
    As our walls and floor
    Are crumbling into pieces

    Black holes
    Eating away at
    All that we held dear

    Grasp the thread
    From the fabric
    Of spacetime unraveling

    We’ll knit ourselves
    Cosy sweaters to
    Keep us warm in the dark

  • Speechless

    Spirits and shadows
    On the ceiling
    Are dancing

    The night song
    Runs through me
    Inside out

    All my bones
    Dissolved in
    Bitter medicine

    The jungle drum
    Beat me up tonight
    Till speechless

    Shaken seasick
    And bewildered
    I reach for more

    To seek treasures
    That lie
    Beyond the edge

  • I have no idea

    When I was by myself
    I prayed to be one with the ocean
    To take a peek into the great mystery

    When I was there
    I prayed for language
    To sing out loud this joy confusion and bliss

    Now I’m back here
    And words don’t make any sense

    Why of all things I chose language
    I have no idea
