Literature Text

radio waves kiss metal tips, songs stuck in static—
lullabies to star children, or a chorus of planets
filling up the empty space around them with sound
as comets dance along—a man with wires in his

teeth adjusts the chrome antennae atop his head
and listens to the whispers of foreign worlds:
saturn's rings, celebrations, babes cooing through
dreams of sugar plum mountains and peppermint

along the highway lives a girl whose mother died
the day she was born, with eyes as fierce as
her father's—she lives for the moments the man
drives by in his pickup truck and lets the music of

mars waft through the air like the smell of flowers
in spring; it helps her forget the winter in her ribs,
along the left side, an icy patch colder than pluto
when it was burned by beady-eyed scientists
Surprise for chromeantennae <3

Thank you for being so supportive!
