The Winter Star
My drunken winter star,
how you tried to erase your past
from your body,
How you burned yourself again and again
till you met different fates,
till your constellation formed along
different paths.
You dreamt of a cottage, high on the mountains
with animals, sunshine and rain
But, oh my winter Star,
you screamed through your stitched mouth
that still bleeds,
The empty sockets cried for help
While, they screamed back \"Monster\"
Yet, you remembered
You were the most beautiful star in your galaxy.
And so, you tried to erase yourself
burning to ashes
to meet a different fate,
to have a different constellation.
