It is nighttime and you are lovely.
in this city of smog and black sky / the cellphone on your hip is / firefly light

Red String Theory
I'd fashion you a pillow from clouds / a sink with the tears in the space-time continuum / you'd sweep me into your arms onto your horse head nebula

The Nile
You are my Egypt. Warm dry sandy skin slipping through my fingers, blue rivers dipping and winding under your skin. A heart of paradise and honey, filled with the spirits of kings and gods. Every inch of you is a monument, a shrine to some old glorious memory, untouchable by the ravages of time or even made more beautiful and valuable. A constellation of red stars rise over your back and face, spiralling into green-brown oases, cool and soothing. / You’re blinding. You are the slim strength of an obelisk. You whisper stories like sandstorms that could wear down a mountain. / You have a face, a curse. You should be put in a museum. Just one touch.
