Generation
by Kayleigh Ayn Bohémier
Worlds in our heads
slip out
a little at a time:
butterflies,
princesses,
songs,
wedding rings.
Breath yields wind.
Thoughts yield actions.
Sunlight yields rain.
Death is a supernova
obliterating
mysteries we never knew,
people we never saw,
words we never said.
For your world to live,
you must submit.
Another world tree
will grow,
crawling with gods,
heroes,
and underground girls
who will sing of their creator,
a man
who fell
in creation.
