Zenith: the highest point reached by a celestial object.

please, stay close to the zenith

lay your body down
bruised and weary
hold it softly against the paling world
like cotton over a body
have your eyes appear as jewels
as the orange sun escapes the horizon

speak dying syllables over restless nights
until the chill of the dawn
let the pools of water at your feet
feel like the cold ponds of the earth
let the rocks in your eyes
wrap cool hands around your lovers waist

let your unsinkable eyes
add a new dimensions
as the day flourishes its darkness of trade

because from inside the window of your paling skin
is where the zenith lives

let it consume your deepest truths
and clean your dirtiest plate
let it shake you where your knees break
and where your spirit slpits the air

and age may remind you
how vulnerable you are

but remember
with glasses you can only see the smudges on the screen

so please

stay close to the zenith
