Shimmer

Dangle a nebula around my neck.
I will carry her.
I will carry you if you’ll let me.

Take this white dwarf. No, take it.
A gift. It’s okay to say yes.
Lean on my rings. You are safe.

Comet of the last decade
will evaporate into sand.
I am unharmed. You, she,
Unharmed.

I am not done breathing.

I cannot pull you out,
but I will try. Add the weight
of implosion to my side
of the tether.

Crash into me. I can take it.
