open my mouth wide and you will see the night sky
cut my hair and the comets tangled in it will burn into non-existence
pull my lashes out and the moons hanging off them will fall
crack my head open and you will see a galaxy
open my eyes wide and you will see a constellation, imploding and exploding
cut open my skin and suns will spill out, blood red
force open my legs and the asteroids in between will crash to the ground
rip my fingernails out and the black holes trapped underneath will suck you in
force water down my throat and the stars in my stomach will splutter out
cut the strings hanging off my fingers and planets will fall
for in the space in between my ears
in every space in my body there is space
constellations and solar systems and galaxies
all crammed inside my paper skin
i am the space girl, the one everyone wants
wants to study under a telescope, wants to fly through in a rocket
why can't they just leave me alone?
