I am courting the moon
Have you ever watched the moon?
I saw it weep and as it disappeared into the sky
I kissed its hair and whispered swollen words into the clouds
It taught me how to count the stars.
It said to me “you are the only something”
It looked at me like I alone existed in a sky full of nothing else
Secret smiles shared in the dark pressed between teeth
I’ll take you past my lips
I’ll swallow the earth
I’ll press myself into the darkest corners of my room and cry for the unknown
Remember me when we see the same moon
