A boulder forms in my stomach
It makes itself known through
Deep sighs and inevitable laughter
And it pulls me into the bed
As far down as this stiff mattress allows
Until I fall through
And I’m falling in an
Inconceivable direction
I’m lost
But I’m at home
Somewhere in the endless mesh
Of space and time
In one particular moment
I’d like to visit as often
As time will allow
Maybe I’ll see you in the stars
When I am nothing but movement
And light
And illusion no longer
Burdens me
A billion years from now
I wonder if I will still
Comprehend love like this
Or the feeling of my nails
Running along your back
Your hair brushing across
My forehead
The burning of your eyes
Looking through me
At the layers of time
That have shaped my
Body
Somehow to fit perfectly
Within your grasp
