Transformations #3: Radionuclide

#3: radionuclide (no new star)

born of (stardeath) love
glowing hopeful apples
in the secret earth
you (and I) give away (we
give away)

half our (starbirth) lives devoted:
light the city with our smiles.
realize the bones
beneath notional skin.

tear down the spiral stairs.
our children are (starlight)
not shadow selves

it's different every time:
the light goes through us
changes not who we are
but who we can become

half our lives wasted
away (starshape) smiles:
gold transmutes 
to flat pale lead.
