I am a greedy creature
I long for things so beautiful
I can’t even begin to wrap myself around them
they will envelop me
I will collect moments of wonder
like watching the sun smother its self in the ocean
and bleed all over the horizon
or laughing alongside lovely souls
with moonlight stains our faces
or counting the clouds that swim
across afternoon sky like huge fluffy whales
or falling asleep in the hour between
the end of one day and the beginning of the next
I will find myself as many as I can manage
maybe I could build a house
or a castle
