a new and perfect space to

The full Moon, bright—
promised Sea {the Earth}: pulled
her closer to ✨the sky.✨ At night,
Moon’s love lured Sea high on sand—
caught her star-shaped fish,
cloud-urchins,
.:land:.
When Moon waned, Sea’s tide
broke apart—
~dried her~

I adored discourse, you loathed .:verbose:.
I craved wild, lilac empires,
you dreamt of white, picket homes.
I cared for ~dragon fruit~, you:
🍐pared-down tastes & tones.
.:All my flowers die:.

Loving you was like an over-jammed

lamb juices to bloom. ✨For

In the end, I
lacked patience,

It’s a b*tch, isn't it? The nip of

I’ll take less dumb
excuses:

To you, “togetherness” meant two specs
of stardust on the same plane, fixed
to the same place, in aisle seats
for “our” peace and space. We’d
parallel like this:
mirroring love…
so much, we
never
touched.

my fall (but placed)
shattered me
