you trace shapes across my skin; shoulder blades of canvas, the small of my back your Starry Night-- oh yes, I overheard that perfect stars burn. but it might be alright, getting singed.

perfect stars burn
last night you let me dream you up, and you looked me in my black hole eyes. with no shake in your voice, and a sweet shake in your lips, you whispered in the way you do: "Let's spend all our money on tattoos that look like raindrops." (we did)

raindrops
in one blink I see-- the way you look in yellow, the lids of your eyes.

you only snore the first half hour after you're asleep. I love you.

I was never told "no" and thus I find myself hopelessly wandering in search of the Forbidden.

i wish i could coat my hand in paint and leave the print of it on every wall in London. then there wouldn't be a place you could go or a wall you could lean on without holding my hand.

here's the thing, Aurelia., everybody lies., out their fingers and their feet.--even I lie to you, Aurelia. sleeping fathers mothers brothers let them lie, because Aurelia--they don't mean it but: oh, oh, oh they want to mean it (is) the key to a perfect lie between your fingers and your toes and my teeth., I keep my lies out for you Aurelia.--I never hid a thing; you are a lie,-- Aurelia you should have lied to me
