teach me how to love the galaxies
I have already loved the stars-
I have touched and traced the
constellations bare burning
through the hours-
steady fire desired my body whole-
I ran away upon the bars
on shuddering case
your chest- a pleasing flower-
before I could love the uneven mars
liberating and boundless-
I dared to glare your eyes ardent
no arrow would know my heart-
though such a cruel word-longing-
As if I could ever begone- learn you-
among your seducing lies, inevitably
slackened hands known to me-
And only me-
condemned fireflies as they fled
{[words that exist after all]}
