"You know what it feels like when all your teeth are falling out really slowly and you don't realize and then you notice that, well, they're really far apart. And then one day... you don't have any teeth anymore." - Where the Wild Things Are

you are a kindness,
a rare oasis,
a silver sliver
on a sable field.

share your warmth, for a night, for a week
and fuel a star for years,
the inky slate of space,
punctured, stained white by your eyes

ivory,
a pure beauty,
which blinds like night
and shines twice as bright,

in your eyes I find infinities,

scattered light from your sweet heart,
savoire, je plane avec vous,

take me even higher, will you?
before I am faded atoms, {and too jaded to remember names}
