they told me a tale about you.

they told me that you imprisoned
your light inside the stars and became
darkness, that you built the pyramids
when you fell from heaven, that you
made angels cry venetian lagoons.

they told me that you cursed the moon
to hide in daylight, that you made the
sun start a war, that you fractured the
sky in clouds.

they told me that you broke the world
in seven, and drowned the soil with
salty dew, that you can grow stems
with feathers, and that planets twirl
around your blooms.

they told me that you created the world
when you lifted your gaze, and so you
broke the foundations of mine
when you looked away.
