Why I’m Weightless: Poems about Death, Grief, And Loss By: Alec Prado

Hello! My name is Alec and I’m a poet writing for over eight years. I’m finally ready to announce that I’m publishing a book!!

Why I’m Weightless is a eulogy for people you don’t speak to anymore, lovers long gone, time, and the person you used to be. Why I’m Weightless grapples with mortality in a world where the universe around us is cold and dark. The planets have a magnitude of gravity on all of us. They pull us away in an attempt to shed us of our Earthly anchors. These poems seek to comfort the fear of death in exploration of unspoken words. Chilling poems that hold a secret truth. They have one foot on the ground and one beyond with a hand outstretched that says, don’t be afraid.

Now available on Amazon!

step away from your world and into mine

take a step into a higher perspective

you've done so much you've come so far expand into the love you created

you are nesting in their hearts nothing is ever forgotten when loving is what you do

and I can see it too

you must find a way to paint this better in this way of describing beauty one must go outside you need to look a few beasts in the eye to paint with these colors

paint each stroke like a breath of new air up, and down in, and out with each a finer detail deep enough to fall inside

you will be the one running through the fields with your hands open wide with a message for the world the alarm bell within the heart

paint a picture that can never be undone the love of the universe you will see the world as a canvas you will tell them the stories they forgot

you will be a painter drawn towards the edge of infinity good will be green evil, cinnabar you will be outside it all

painting the world as loved as you are

why is the ocean salty and not sweet? why does the coarse sand cling to my feet? I crash against the waves as they crash against me and slide back into the sea

when the wind blows and breaks against those sturdy trees what sort of tree lives inside me? I open my hands but I'm still not made of wood

I hope you still look at the moon at the same time I do I hope the stars still remember the promise we made

the moon remembers we let our secrets become astronauts safe with the soft white of the night herald waiting outside

we were naming our kids for hours on the top of your car we sat in the cold light of a hundred thousand lost lovers

we kissed under the moonlight and the stars aligned the constellations we made are still watching over you

wherever you are it always seems like midnight when I think of you I kept a light on in the sky

we look inside ourselves how many promises have we made? and we look to the moon waiting for people who will never arrive

It feels like I'm always at the crossroads of my life. On the knife tip verge of falling off the planet. The winds out here are taking everything with them. They're gaining speed and it feels like I'm the only one who notices it. We're sliding towards the center of the Earth. All of us. Time feels like it's slipping by but flying is just falling in a direction and we are flailing. Faster towards the point of impact where we will all collide and...

I'll see you on the better side

I knew it could be possible to close this gap between us that stars could be intertwined like lovers on fire

I believe in a cosmic dance with a billion smaller dances inside these gravitational waves are reaching in your direction

every stumble every misstep is a part of the play look farther out at the spirals we've been circling

I knew something could spark between us because you are just like me wandering through life waiting for someone to ask them to dance

I love the empty spaces between words they sit and watch silently and don't try to sell you shit

in the coronation of the human race we were placed upon this rock like a crown upon a king we said to kiss this ring

with every belief every thought that we rightfully own that we sit upon this throne

but when I look outside myself there are equations I can’t solve this takes a new kind of wisdom this isn’t our kingdom

to wake up and see nations divided like slices of cake this isn’t land we own we’re here on a cosmic loan

One time, when I was cycling a lot I rode down the river trail along traffic to my grandma's house in a time without a drivers license

2 years later I'm in the shower and I get the call say something to grandma it's time

I had arrived and she made me food something is sizzling in the kitchen I love your cooking grammy I'll see you again soon

she sounds like rain the white static fills the room shower water running she's smiling but I can't hear what she's saying
