Not wanting to become lost around the edges,
Eyes kept wide
I chew on metallic memory

Crossing the tops of my "L's" like "T's"
crossing my legs
and feet,
digging deep into the groves of a hardwood floor,

Now I'm seeing you from beneath

And there are your eyes, all dewy and earth.
That dark. And rich round.

Fluttering.
Filtering out the echo,
that sounds around your face
static along the edges.

It was like running very
slowly through
town.

...lazy lights
Under the big tree

You and me,
We caught fires in our hands

And almost always set them free.

All the night is,
Is a thin layer of blackness
And color takes over
In the backs of your eyes,
Glittering through the
Orange and blue
translucent white.
Galaxy spills from the bottle.
Your fingertips
catch the light.

LOL
Random bursts of laughter.

"And I can’t wait until

We’re older…

And laughing".

How bizarre

And strange we sound

To those…

Speaking the silly.

A different

language

In a way…

Some may know

other familiar dialects,

And we must ask,

Where are you from?

You sound like us

But a little

different.

Your skin against My skin
Is coarse
Scratchy
Bark,
and it peels as you crunch
against my freshness.
Your unnatural flesh
Flaking off in chunks.

Your heaviness
splitting me
Grinding into my spirit
(while I resist)


I want to spit.

You sought me out, ignore the rest;
Sharing unwrapped and unmarked gifts
whenever you needed to be touched.
Creating moments so beautiful
So cunningly.
So impersonal, yet needy like a pup.
Loving only to survive,
Until I fell in love.

No purer than this
In the middle of the mulch and sand,
We stand.
We swing, and we sway through the dark
or the fog,
exhaling the day.
Memories captured,
laughter greets the night.
While these small moments,
These beautiful movements,
We'll keep in our minds.
