HERE
                                        & HERE

                                                                        & HERE
&
HERE,
is the place
where it all happened,
where our atoms collided
in haphazard ways;
the meeting of you & I
under the seraphic night sky,
all those voltaic moments,
where I felt your presence,
and it felt like
/ H O M E /

THEN,
is when
we reeled in the airflow
between
the crossways of our dreams;
when we confided in each other,
laying in abysmal
trenches.

/ say min, will you find me? /
/say, would you kiss-a my blind eyes? /


THERE,
                                      
                                              & THERE

& THERE,
is where
I was struck by lightning,
and melted into fluid,
counting the gleams on your eyelashes
searching for ways to
make you smile,
walking beside me in the sun.

/ say min, will you remember? /
/say, would you kiss-a my blind eyes? /

HERE
&
HERE,
is where
you buried all your secrets,
pleated underneath my mortal skin.
Where you colonized my body and
was the first to graze my lips
without bruising.

THERE
                                                         & THERE
&

THERE,
is where
you planted your riddled kiss
- the one that awoke the world-
as we roamed the streets at night
[our empty stage]
drawing creases in the snow.
&
THEN,
is when
we took over the whole town and
held hands like we invented it.

NOW
EVERYWHERE
echoes of us echoes of you echoes of mine echo echo echo

****--
your mud eyes
and charged tongue.
I want to breathe air into your lungs
and tell you I love you the most,
and that’s all right,
if you’re thinking of
a hallowed
