and i kissed him
the sweetest i ever kissed him;
i could taste the sugar on my lips
against the brick and underneath the night lights

screwed

this burning is innate.
it's in my blood stream,
can never be flushed from my system.
my body is a temple;
you are the faith supporting it.

people question where the honey bees disappeared to.
truth is, they migrated to the inside of my skull,
munching on meninges,
buzzing incessantly,
filling the sinuses and ventricles with black and yellow fur
and tiny, translucent wings.

i've become a time traveler,
ripping a hole in the very fabric of the time-space continuum.
i fell asleep and opened my eyes in the middle of the universe.
i would gasp at the sight of a million sparkling stars and celestial bodies,
but i can't breathe and my body's frozen.
all i see before me are roads i've already walked down,
flashing across my field of vision,
hyper-real with vivid colors; rich as whole cream.
i taste them.
but the moment my mouth floods with saliva
the visions cease
and stuck in space,
i realize

this is eternity and i am lost.

Neither time nor distance can sever the human connection.

mmmmm

high

the wheel spins and hits the flint
it sparks in his voice;
a sharp inhale:
you know, the way virgin breath
from swollen lungs
mimics the voice of its issuer...

i want our bodies to connect where life first began
i want to embrace you in-between sodium waves
i want sea weed to entangle our entangled legs

i want you

equivocate

trying to equate his eyes:
all that slips over the tip of my tongue,
chemically burned on the journey past my lips
due to bitterness,
is the horribly dull, "jade."
such a beautiful stone can't even come close.
analogous to breathtaking,
homologous to iris,
the history of the world
can be learned just by looking at
the invention of the wheel;
cracked in spots, ancient
but radiating warm light.
in just one glance,
i can look down and see the origin of life,
i see the salty seas where organic molecules arose.
i see midnight dust brooms careening across borders,
columnar keratin waving like tall grass in the wind.
i see velvet charcoal
bowing to ponds over populated with protists, bacteria.
i see delicious sea weed
with 40 tiny arms fighting for a bite.

i see beauty.
