Two Poems

by Princess Cake

centers of the universe

the stars chirp
crickets at the top
of the universe
tiny frogs for all i know
for all i heard
above my gleaming pulse
shining between my ears

the highway rings
around the sound of a black hole
in silver disc rainbows
you played for us and drove
with twelve species of frog
we quizzed ourselves on
and sometimes
incredibly
we were right

i flip the switch
the bulb on my patio
brightens a rectangle
while all else around
is dark, woods dark
bedtime dark,
quieted creatures
except for the bugs
or frogs
in any case,
the small ones

with eyes closed

we’re all in this dream

you’re on my mind and i’m yourself

listening to lost language

even with eyes closed, or especially

with echoes

Princess Cake has gone to where the pines meet the seA.
