love is a place

You punched a hole in the sun, I’m flat on my back

your heart is black from all the coal, you’re a smokestack

let me hold your features in my infinitesimal hands,

you’re all angles and bones in my arms, a slack face with a protruding jaw line

I spend hours tracing this outline, these sunken in cheeks are mine

I love the way you paint my canvas skin

A shadowed silhouette passing by in front of my eyes, Swimming Eyes

locked up for years in a measure of mind

some times i check that i'm still breathing, most of the time i hope i'm only dreaming

you are the ghost that I can not scare
