is this how we fix bad photographs?
saturate the focus, craft the perfect banner,
grain enough to feel the gloom
in between the curved lines.

It was in the warmth
of her body

in the spaces between hers
our thumbs painting
each other's palms in subtlety
her head rests on my arm

in the midst of each other's surrender

and yet somehow,
even ecstasies
end in sober

Beauty is in the eye

and behold
the beauty
in your eyes

the clock
tick tocks
in golden variables
every hour malleable
every minute ductile
every second savored

the best poems

Her collarbone is a basin
And it reflects the stars
Twinkling in her eyes
When the liquid salt
Fills it to the brim
And drops like an irregular
Waterfall down a honeyed chin

Are a stimuli
And I
I hope you
Keep wearing them
So your heart sees clear
That you're beautiful
With them on.
