Starlight

In the darkness of my room

my pocket screen churns colours 

in the shape of one of us

and says 

we are all stardust and swirling in the starlight

the starlight that docks ships in the harshest planets

is the same that made them inhospitable 

the starlight that feeds the earth 

is the same that burns its fuels

the starlight that ricochets in a motherboard

is the same that reminds us of pain

the starlight that paints men in the sky

is same that liberates them in flame

the starlight we used to preserve our minds

is the same we will use to destroy our kind.

My eyes burn 

as if I’ve been staring directly 

into the sun.

As I drift into the darkness

my dreams 

swirl, 

glimmer,

and disappear

in an ever-shifting beam 

still cupped in my hands.
