beyond wishes
by Cheryl Cudmore
 

all of yesterday
thoughts colliding
breaking apart
like molecules smashing
in fire as the universe
trembles in agitation
thoughts pour
pompeii's lava
so molten it welds
everything together
thoughts merge to
one in third stage
labour contractions
no beginning or ending
becoming endlessly one
no room to breathe
or scream in agony
i induce sleep
visit a stellarscape
where a blue dwarf waltzes
with a red giant
our own solaris swollen
igniting her largest
methane planet
before she swallows him whole
beyond heart
BEyond soul
beyond wishes
i infuse you
you fused to me
and we to eternity
tell me what power
is this if not
BE
