we exist together
on some alternate continuum of
the physical world, a secret
corner of consciousness,
chances reality & the universe
would never grant us.
(somewhere in this mad world, i am
yours)
forget age & years & impossibility.
i knew
from the moment i memorized you. you & your
brittle ribs &
soft lips &
geisha feet. you
infinities of beautiful & eyes
Lake Michigan, sparkling waters hold
indefinite light.
(i love you, but
your bones show through)
you pretty lost girl,
the raddest human i’ve ever seen.
be my porcelain dolltoy &
i’ll kiss your every waking limb.
you were the only one
who thought to ask & i could have
cried, because you knew. you knew, & it was
all right. because you were
the first,
you were
the only
& forgive me for my
bright eyes
feverish
on you.
