Planet Thing – Written December 1992 (Aged 17)

Planet Thing

I just want
to take you home—
to take you home,
all alone.
You are
the sweet body mover,
the heart-stung
emotion soother.
You are
the planet
amongst the stars,
beautiful
alien-written poetry
etched
in the craters
of Mars.
In the morning,
when I wake,
I see you
dancing
through the universe,
high
in the sky.
In the morning,
when I wake,
I know
you are there,
because my fragile
reality
starts to shake.

James Garratt – December 1992
