The earth is steaming Boiling from within Pustules forming in oily breaches at the surface and below, All the skeletons flouresce - Do you not remember how we scorched every star into being And breathed shards of silver moonlight into the sky? Before we knew how to build invisible cages, when all we had ever known was the light? I miss the tingle of stardust on my skin most While scrubbing at dank layers of smog beneath each half moon nail The ash of a day in this city making itself at home - Have you dreamed of it lately, that glorious inferno? Dying a thousand little deaths while we baked in fields of swaying corn How lumious we seemed bathed in liquid gold, When all we had ever known was the light. If you could breathe I would take you there again, Will us both back to the safety of that life, The great wide anywhere with the infinite violet sky, And foaming waves slipping up the dunes- Could you imagine our place, frozen out of time, where we could watch every planet turn and every leaf fall? I remember each constellation you called to light the way home, and how the earth trembled beneath our feet, how we loved like we couldn't help ourselves when all we had ever known was the light.
