exhaling stars

Exhaling stars
the way of knowing
you that clumsy

that was clumsy
as these words
my way of knowing you

and being with you
if that were awkwardly
roaming around truth

whatever my way with you
those times roar from me now

truth! It’s hidden in my eyes’ roam
vomiting stars
(they roar or its you does that?)
as a message to silence

Me, exhaling, done, but standing,
wondering how, the warmth in your face.
