RAKIA!

︎ ︎

We are chasing infinity,
Gonna run (it down) rings,
A star-spangled noose, around its neck,
Gaseous & heavy
(I wanna live
    live
          live
              live
                    live

I wanna live
    live
        live
            live
                live
    Forever.)

Stars gnashed between my teeth,
Tearing through the universe,
A celestial body all black and gold and holy.
Worlds reside in the length of my lashes:
I got the sight and have my kohl-lined eye set on you.


Sister tumbling from the heavens,
Shooting from the earth, unrooted
And meeting in the pauses between heartbeats,
Caught breath caught,
Echoing tessellations,
Elastic time exteeeeeeeeeeeends:
We are timeless.
We are joy.
We are free,
Black and gold and free.
