Deepest Portrait of the Universe

we were glass aching to shatter.

we were stupid with love and pain.
and it was beautiful.

juicy. meaty. berries and cinnamon good.

our eyes like centuries.

we would throw words together
and they would work:

bicycle. tanzanite. the Deepest portrait of the universe.

all this rain takes me back to that summer
for i've nothing to do but get drenched.
