you remind me of the first time i saw fireworks

you remind me of things i thought i loved
a purple bunny called Hoppy
a heater on a cold morning
every Alleluia chorus
every Sunday morning.

you remind me of the sun, the moon, the stars,
how i thought i loved them all
and how i thought
they were
so beautiful

you remind me
of songs i used to sing
when i was very young
and
all those fleeting feelings of
what i thought was
untethered joy

oh my love, oh my world,
i never loved till you.

WE
are never gone. rip the sky apart
blue shreds, whistling in the wind
the carcass of a fallen world
(it lied.)
Nowhere is a myth,

WE ARE
in the sunlight streaming through
windows, branches, fingers, petals
(fragile) (but true)
in the trees
above, strong, tragic

WE ARE HERE.
you cannot listen,
but you can feel
