Because when I look at the sky and see stars, I see them fold and collapse, melting into each other like drunken bodies, like moths to the light.
I see them dance across the aqua, like kids to mothers, or lover to lover.
I see them die, fade out, standing on the edge of a platform, screaming for a final chance at love before their plummet to the depths.
I see you. I know that we exist.
But how can I feel scared at all, when I look and see your eyes,
-Are they crying?
As we us fall to the ground, our bodies becoming weightless, we are tumbling to our deaths, We look at each other, kiss and hug until our arrival in our coffin made for two,
soon to burn up.
Larkin is a fabulous poet, I wish to be as good as him someday.
