solar mind

solar mind:
it hurts, it burns.
suffocating inner pressure
suffocating outer heat
five thousand seven hundred seventy-two degrees
invisible.

pressure pressure
pressure pressure
hydrogen & helium
electrons
my core beliefs
melting hot
make it stop
let it burst
let me burn.

love me love me
love me love me
i am not the jealous type
but, solar mind,
won’t quiet down
drown me, quench the fire
love me
make me your desire.
