Black ink and sunbeams poetry

Silence, constrained,

swallows a star,

you, resolute, deny yourself

the lyricality of sorrow,

a frame in the dark affirms

our fate

such a fate, anathematic to life,

spun itself, a chromosomal chain

behind your navel,

bell sworn, a charter, affirms

that which we knew to be that

I could not change or remedy

affirmation unwoven,

Your stars unfold upon your bedside table,

Your heart, overcome,

cradles hope tightly to your breast
