Nightclub in Heaven
Lost love meets urban legend in this poem about nights out in Margate.
there used to be a nightclub up there,
suspended in heaven
where the stars would dance
like we did
synced in binary rotations with the planets
twirling around our hips
as we dreamt of music…
gravity wins
and we each tear life from one another
shoot solar flares
across the dining room table
where the only thing more beautiful
than one dying star
is two
technicolour quasars of our hearts
dense and heavy
reluctantly watching the celestial dance
as stars move in the galaxy behind your eyelids
and we can see our whole future
mapped out
in the corona of two black holes
dancing
and dying
in the nightclub up there,
in heaven.
