Some Nights

Some nights I burn
pull ideas all sticky with thread
like spider silk
staining the backs of my hands

Some nights
I fly in hearts
counting paper orbs like sheep
gathering in baskets

Some days I mistake for night
lick the stars
from street lamps
and tie strings with little bows around
my kindling body
