Dissolve

…dissolve…
Were they toxic?
Deadly nightshade?
Silence from uncertainty,
a hemlock drop of the ear

Stars sing silence,
their intentions quite clear

If they were to dissolve
—sparks and astral dust—
only you’d hear their rain,

your upturned palms capturing
…the every…the all…of my thoughts...
and the way my lips shape your name 

E.A. O'Connell
