Quasar
I never touched the other one | I curled into a plead body
That is a lie | I am in fact expanding | billions of lit matches | my body
spreads into a redshift prayer on the daily | My sex is my body
of work | That is a lie | My sex is a black hole | It waits for no body
Stars are hard work for lights already lost | A galaxy of muscles my body
will never tag | I watch old bodies reject new bodies | touch nobody
on earth | just the way I like it | unfurl into a plead | deep space body
sparkling horror body | won’t be outdone body | you too are a some body
Evolutionize | my | body | if space allows | I might be detected as a body
This is my radio | of echo
