The puddle I jumped
in as a child,
is a cloud now
white and fluffy.
Â
The sky got its
blue from the dust
I beat off
The old mattress.
Â
The sun found
orange shade from the
air I breathed.
Â
The comets are
made from
the dead nail clippings
of my toes.
The stars exist
off the water
I stupidly spilled
on my book.
Â
Saturn has rings
built of pebbles
I tried skipping
on the pond.
Â
The burning blood
of this earth has parts
same as the kettle
of my morning tea.
Â
The bone of the beast
of the past is what I drink
in my evening milk.
I am the mundane and the celestial.
Â
I, she, he, we, they
are
the magic whence
came life.
…now that you’re here
