This is where I will love you,
from the waves of your storms,
and the echoing wind from the east,
they are no anchorage,
but the way you soundβ
it was close to home.
Because truth is darling,
your brokenness is the place
where I am going to stayβ
forget the unburning cigars
you left on my lipsβ
it burnt me off to the
patches of your kiss,
the swirling black holes
you have tug on my chestβ
all warm with the rainfall of
chrysanthemum petals.
This is where I will love you,
no sunrises or moonfallβ
it does not entangle with
star-written poetry
you took halfway,
the late-night drive
that ends with
laying down on
your chest or
the subway walks
that we ended up
chasing the moon.
darling, this is where I will love you,
from the ends of your fall,
to the last bit of your
sunsets.
