#canis
Within there is a crying canis Pretending it is a cry wolf Not sufficient to deliver Playinɡ down the mirror For all that, insane to rock, rock the rattling being Sometimes to hug A hug for the flower.

Reflecting out
sunspot sunrise sunshine moonshine i lick you off my lips like strawberry                                              pineapple                                              grape                  juice                                              a fine wine that i’ve never drunk. asteroid belt orion’s belt daddy’s belt i am opening the door a crack for you only to slam it in your face—i am waiting for you to knock              to pound your fist against the gate              to break your hand on the wood                                  i am waiting for you to say that you love me                                  and i am waiting for myself to believe it completely                                  (i think you do but i am still afraid you might leave me) ((jupiter has 67 moons and i think that i might be                         each and every single one of them)). oort cloud smoke cloud the burning ash of my father’s lit cigar flicking onto my hands i am awake at night and thinking about how you no longer taste like lung                                                                                                        mouth                                                                                             kidney        cancer. my grandfather almost died of prostate cancer my friend is dying of brain cancer my father will probably die of liver cancer                                                            there is not enough space in the cosmos                                                            for all of us, is there?                   … God? meteorite meteoright i am trying to sleep without your face in the back of my neck                                                       hand on the back of my hand                                                       leg tangled around the back of mine i am trying to telepathically whisper my secrets into your ears                                                        but the only problem is that i have not yet                                                                mastered  this  form  of  communication—         i think that everything would be so much easier if i just didn’t feel.
