Romeo

 the sun climbs
up a stairwell 
built for a moon,
& burns it.

the moon
has nowhere to go
and luna's journey
no longer rotates
around this star,
they collide
& down
comes asteroid
after asteroid.

suicide drips from his lips
and the taste, 
is very bitter.
he looks into the sky
& through the scarlet screams
succumbs segments of newly
sought after signs,

this is where God
lays his hand
this is where she 
becomes Juliet.
