reach

Reach

I reach up
my fingers form a web
I gather a handful of stars
one by one I place them in my mouth
I move them about
using the tip of my tongue
and they wiggle and bounce
inside my cheek and off of my teeth
they are cold
and I can smell their metal shells
I swallow
light leeks from under my toenails
and my palms begin to glow
my eyes water silver
and my lips turn to stone
