Ache of Mars

It was sudden
arriving
from the planet of heat
quick and painful
I named it as ache
something blessed
something to hold on to
landed right beside
my red mirror
I stared through it
for days and years
masquerading as a maiden
make believe
I’m holding on for dear life
I rub
clay mask on my body
made of waterfalls,
blood, fire, and iron
I’m rocky now after now
I’m saying all sorts of things
like how
unfortunate it is
Mars is barren
