Meteor Shower
 
Blazing white streaks
between jealous stars
every blink a risk
we humbly saw
these fearless interstellar travellers
announce themselves in silence
once then
never again
 
it was wondrous
it was wondrous
it was wondrous
but my neck was tired
my bones were chilled
and when the celestial fireworks were over
they were replaced
with tea and television

Blink
 
I was told
that this part of my life
would be over
in the blink of an eye
I blink
life is still the same
I blink again and hold it
buildings come crashing down in silence
oceans rise up and cover everything
I am safe here, in my blink
I open my eyes
life
is still
the same
