Translucent Woman

-translucent woman-
we see her heart
-translucent woman-
and growing fainter
becomes like a cold dark spot in space
blackness blotting out the stars and
pulling in
pulling inward
She folds inward
and disappears into herself
collapsing in her own gravity
And stars streak across time like searing streams of burning light
and mark the face of the night sky
And suns burst with silent swells and beating lashes
And air is sucked from the deepest fabric
of the darkest reach
in the coldest cloud
of the most ancient dust.
And it is this dust that makes her solid,
once more.
