Exclamation Point

I explode the stars

that form symphonies

I am the one
that catapults red thoughts into space

to bounce up
to bounce down
to bounce up again

to break the ceiling tiles

with a hammer

shatter glass houses
with a single swoop

I am

a thunderous bird

through the universe

on wings

that hold
the most passionate conversation that’s ever been heard

an unapologetic soliloquy

or an uninvited guest

when one carries a question mark

meant to explode

helium is released to the sky

filling balloons
never meant to return to earth

with such forces
never intended to meet their creator.
