Asteroid B-612

Written by Faye Allego, one of our poetry writers, and edited by Amber Spalding, one of our editors!

with no perception of time

I layed there and inhaled cans of turpentine

displayed my love like a colourless mosaic

I don’t know how else to say it

a voice buried six feet deep

at the back of my mind

lingered as I severed the hitch-

my universe glitched

easily replaced and nothing was left but grime

paintings of roses with ivy leaves and vines

came to life, then suffocated every time

after time, eroding into a faceless dime

am I saved? do I escape?

an asteroid of solidified dust

with a fox to navigate

with no perception of time

I sit here with an estranged soul

seeking to wander the oblivion

or find out what makes a heart whole

two become one, fire within the sun

who knew an asteroid formed into a planet

would be so much fun?
