The sky shimmers

  spotted with stars, it simmers

  in slowly and sweetly

  like the taste of my mother’s porridge

  in the comfort of my home

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  as though a blanket of love

  although I’m now alone

  Under the weight of its bearers

  fights a lone sword of flames

  forcing fire to become iron

  until it becomes ash again

  the water is forgotten

  the remedy wasted

  its eternal battle ends

  but it has always known loneliness

  Look up and see

  our stars are one and the same

  as the before and the after

  and the pain will wane

  with homecoming stars

  remember there are no imprisoning bars

  for a constellation might just be

  both you and me

  humanity together into eternity
