Die MAG

I feel like so much
right now
this moment I could burn
my skin would melt
and glaze stones

Take a mirror to the sun
I would die in reflection
burning deep there‚
turn to ash or sand,
or honey, or silk cloth
or something else
My dream was ice
water, and my wish.

happy under white light
so nice
painless
lookdownmyfeetsparkle
as I go
swirling like black
oil
