Sitting On a Bed In The Middle Of The Milky Way

Dec 09, 2021

This poem was written by Ahmed Zaid in a 12-Month Poetry Collection Generator taught by Angel Nafis.

I hear our planet spins around itself as it rotates around the sun that rotates around the thing that also rotates around.

We keep arounding

around holes within our chests, spiraling holes that suck attention. Ache, an uninvited meteor

passing mid-conversations, vaporizing in quiet panic.

Our universes, vast, dark and suffocating, stingy with awareness, can with donated looks open cluster of clusters of young stars.

Cover Photo: This photograph is blurred, as if the camera moved when it was taking the shot. It's the end of a sunset, and the sky is blue with orange light around the horizon. In the foreground there is a dark cabin with a green light at the top of the roof.
