above the world
it’s easy to mistake
love up here
for tangible,
manageable,
rangled into being
tangled in between
strangers.
but we aren't
strangers tonight
under this neon glow
and these transparent drinks
you're all I've ever known
my fearless mess
of hair and oversharing
wearing thin on reality
a totality of self,
a totality of lie.
lean over edge, breath
and space reach
beseeching the stars
ours are scarred with light
and sound drowning
solid thought
I forgot it was this loud
I forgot I lived so cowed
in the awe of anxiety
bowing to it,
but not now
not tonight.
in vibrant light
I blaze and spin
begin today
forget tomorrow.
what a sorrow
to recede
after expanding.
