VICTIM TO THE STARS
GEMMA O'CONNOR
Twisting and writhing tidal waves
cradled by insanity of whether or not
I even feel anything for a water bearer
anymore? I dreamt of a raging bull who
held my hand as I cried
over. Something. Very. V e r y.
S t u p i d
oddly I was awakened by a bell
from a territorial raging bull
and like the flick of a switch:
D o n ‘t s m i l e.
But the bright flash
of a Cheshire Cat
erupts from the stomach and
spews out of a crack in the
mouth of a slightly unsettled volcano;
however, I noted that the waves calmed down,
the storm had passed, and the sun came out.
Not even the hint of a breeze whistled
through moist and vibrant green leaves.
Perhaps as an archer myself I set
the bull on fire, but how can a flame
not ignite the earth and all that surrounds?
Straight down to ash in the ground
until. I am left with.
N o t h i n g. Again.
