Carbon Copy

Like any cosmic 

being knowing 

its trajectory, there 

is no harnessing 

you...

Exploding

with intense energy

simultaneously dark 

and brilliant, your 

stellar light burns 

through my vision 

of motherhood...

blindly I navigate

your gravitation,

breathlessly awaiting

(space) to rush in, 

soothe the familiar 

disruption, 

ride the lunar 

shockwaves 

safely

tethered (to you)

by a silver cord,

that organic bond 

that cannot 

be broken.
