your freckles are my favorite constellation
and i mapped each one
and i traced each one
and i sketched each one
until i felt closer to you
someday
you will look at me
and no longer love me
in fact
someday
you will look at me
and no longer see me
rather
you will see millions of
ghost stories
that you thought you had drowned
with each sip of cheap liquor
that you continue to pour
down your charred throat
your charred tongue
and your black teeth
that are only black
when they smile at me
and i want to be able to look
at your face again
and simply see
stars
that i can lose myself in
