lanterns by Christina Butcherwhen the
night folds back
cracks the sky
i'll catch you up
my king of kings
when the light
creeps up
pricks and punctures
i'll tack you down
and paste you
to my memory
in my brain
i'll fold you
[wallet size]
bend you
[lengthwise]
carve you out
with crayons
i'll plug you in
like a light bright
let it pierce my heart
a wild thing
you're a king of kings
you're my lantern
burning bright
when the night falls
rampant
