Stars in the trees
.
I spread myself thin
On these roads
A deadweight in my chest
I walk upside down
.
_ I am roadkill
_ To your asphalt kid
.
Stars in the trees
And ET yearning for home
Dipped in your artificial magic
I walk upside down.
.
I cannot breathe under water
.
I am roadkill
A raisin in my chest
Where my heart used to be
.
Stars in the trees
To enhance the experience
As I fill this vessel’s cavity
With suffocating muck.

Really,
I cannot breathe under water.
I tried.
