hazy smoke escapes your velvet lips,
and fire melts the snow in my lungs.
together, we begin to float.
your eyes turn into eclipses,
and the world turns into a carousel.
let’s go for a spin.
as we rotate around the sun, the air
turns into candy, and our breath
tastes like the universe.
we fall to the ground and laugh, and
i rest my head on your chest to listen
to your midnight heartbeat.
soon, our buzzing brains will lull
us into dreamland, and this night
spent among the heavens will
be nothing but a sweet memory.
