when ever i hear your name
my heart instantly
sinks
to the bottom of a
sea.

I want to write poems
On your skin
With my lips.

WHAT IF WE ARE ALL JUST BILLIONS OF SHINING STARS,
SEEN BY OTHER BEINGS FROM ALL THE OTHER GALAXIES ,
MAYBE OTHER UNIVERSES -
AFTER ALL,
WE ARE MADE UP OF STARDUST.

when a poet falls in love with you
you can never die
they will notice the way
you rub your palms and look down
when someone is angry at you
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss

they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's
how you never crease any pages of books
and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen
with your record player on

they will find all of the words
that they see you as
and turn them into something beautiful

people say you die twice
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time

if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name
you will be alive
for eternity

It's been months since I've ever seen you

I haven't spoken to you since may or june

But I got in the mountains and I can't stop thinking about you
