lover is a day

other things that glow (+ thank you)

        FIRE
the way embers on tissue paper stream pillars of grey into the air
TEARS
only on sunday mornings, only when it has been too long

there is light in many things and i will give them all to you
gargle the embers and spit prayers through tissue paper

TEETH
mother moon scoops honey onto them
i promise to feed you

PLANTS AND GIRLS

first the growing pains
things that stretch and snap

YOU AND BLOOD
thick and running and gone and gone and drying and gone

THE UNIVERSE
sweet when funneled through wet palms
shaking and growing and still

MY LOVE
always flowing until it reaches her throat
stop and return and race in between
