you are like fall.
you make me sad --
saccharine sad so my tears taste like sugar, my misery tastes like heaven.
your leaves sink and I come undone.

your blue-grey eyes are the ocean, i drown in them.
mine are the bright of the sky, of sapphires,
and you have all of my stares. forever.

the kisses i blow may one day reach you.
they fly a path across the atlantic. across the sky, across the pedestrian roads. they sail along with the leaves of summer. the dead branches of winter.
the kisses are all yours. all of me is yours.

plant love, your seed, along the underside of my breast,
i will twist my hands in the white linen of our sheets.

let's stay up together, decaying coffee in my cup,
your stubble thick with growth.
brushes of black on our pillows from where you held me tight and i cried.
the smell of bonfire smoke. the remnants of our past,

they twirl and dance away. over now. over.

you are like fall,
i want to walk in you.
see you on the dark side of the moon.
