Terzanelle by Adam Astra
Even now, there’s some ink left in this pen;
As long as I can find an empty page,
It’s never too late to begin again.
It still feels like I’m naked on a stage
When I undress all these old doubts and dreams.
As long as I can find an empty page,
I can return to the source—that wild stream.
Years spent swimming through stacks of old notebooks
Where I undress all these old doubts and dreams.
I’ve cast out many lines without a hook,
And well, I don’t have time to dwell on my
Years spent swimming through stacks of old notebooks,
Wondering where I’ve lost the time and why.
It’s been a long journey, but now I know
Too well. I don’t have time to dwell on my
Regrets, but I’ve got time to let them go.
Even now, there’s some ink left in this pen.
It’s been a long journey, but now I know
It’s never too late to begin again.

A katauta by Adam Astra
my love, will we rise
up against this wave of hate,
or will we stay here in bed?

A Galaxy Born by Adam Astra
Nascent love is like a galaxy newly born,
Its elements simple and lighter than air.
But in darkness, its stars yet unformed.
From its center it is an experience as rare,
As clear as desire unclouded by dust,
But from a distance—a dim blue glare.
Heavier elements—security and trust—
Require a ritual, a sacrifice of stars.
Much later will come the planet’s crust.
