If I know it’s coming,

if I know stars are shattering

like glass miles away,

flying in for tomorrow,

what are my options?

By this time tomorrow night

I’ll be scraps of skin flapping like curtains.

The glass will reach me and dig in

so that my body, what’s left of it,

becomes a locked box,

Never to be pried open.
