On my darkest nights
I awaken in the ocean
lost
your constellations branded
against the back of my tongue.
A bloom of tattooed moonlight
the senselessness of slumber--
though this ocean swallows me,
I will stay afloat.
Promise you will come.
When the light embraces dark
when the planets fade like scars,
promise.
So that we
might be the moment
of everything.
