There is a creature rarer than you dare to dream. If once it flourished within your lungs, savor the eternity, it left on your tongue. I have been evaded by that space between the stars. It's existence has eluded me, it's true. But it thrives in side your mouth in your cuticles, it blooms traced 'cross your eyelid wandering from me to you. Now I grasp the phantom creature, I feel it's warmth between my thumbs, taste the word within me, because this is us and this is love.
