When I was quite young,
They hit me over the head.
Can’t you see my stars?

Don’t our demons look cute
In the daylight?
A plastic tiger, hippo, bear–
Each no bigger than a fingernail.
Someone else swallowed them.
Now they bobble in our blood,
Indestructible.
One day
A grandchild will cough up
A tiny panda,
Remnant of a forgotten war.

I overheard a man in rags croon in blooming tones
that overwhelmed the silver grey sky,
the silver grey gates,
the silver grey discs behind my eyes.
