when she kissed

the moon good night 
stars bashfully twinkled .
the black on her lips

stained the night sky
 .
everyone thought it a bad omen .

I said

this is how the heavens love
 ;
this is how you love
 .
you paint home your favorite color
I put lavender flowers in my heart .


everyone said

this purple
doesn’t make you king
 .

I said

*this is how
you start being human .
