Heaven Wants You by Kumiko Mae

Tweet

Heaven speaks to the quiet
mind like the devil
seduces the idle. You are
a target. Be steady
heaven is aiming
at you.
Between your eyes
is a red
telling stories
of fertility and openness
--an invitation
convincing vagabonds
to give up their bags
and offer to you
the world.
Stateless and high
are the load in your head.
They shall cushion
the poisoned arrow
flying straight
towards your plans.
Owning space
piercing pieces together
skewered
impaled
grilled by the precision
only heaven can teach
and outperform.
Listen closely
with your rustling hair
the wind will whisper
if it's almost
over. For now,
stand still.
Heaven wants you
with sky blue eyes
like the ocean
endless and quiet
with trenches that open
to a world of
Breathlessness.
