Before bed I poured my joy into a jar on the stand, and when it was full flecks of light glided around our bodies. Her ears sang a lo-fi lullaby as her eyelids caught each fleeting note. When you look away from me what are you trying to hide? Our wild skin cooled on cotton as our minds dipped into fragments of what pains us. Get close to me. During the moment I was sad because I imagined myself as an old man forgetting most of it. We didn’t invent a new thing, just a simple thing so simple it was beautiful. And when you finally spoke only the sensation of touch was left of me.
