That Came Too Close

a falling star
that
came
too
close....

a nd scorched
...the ground of
.....my being...

scarring my heart....

leaving a name
...written into
.....the darkness....

that
i
cannot
speak!

that drives me
to evolve
...and burst

into the womb
that named time,
and touched me...

naked!
