I'd like to flood the streets of your heart with everything I cannot say.

they say the universe started
with a superheated ball of matter
impossibly small
impossibly dense
crammed so tightly,
it could explode any second

when that hot, dense ball finally broke apart,
radiated waves of light and heat across the universe –
suddenly, where there was nothing,
there was something

i can sense a hot, dense knot in my stomach
when you look at me
impossibly small
impossibly dense
ready to explode any second

so i will sit here, waiting
for that dark, stuffy universe
to burst into light, into matter,
into existence

waiting
for that big
big

…

BANG
