thank you, future lover

all the stars
are dead

does that come off
mean or
not nice

what i meant to say is
it doesn’t matter
they’re still there
we’re looking at them

i can’t allow myself
to piss in water
like emotionally

but with you my secret
could be danced with
instead of going stiff
in a closet

anything that happens
twice is a pattern

i like the part where you rub
my warming genitals
and my eyes roll soft
like rabbits

a lot of what is inconveniencing
you at any given moment is really
just a lack of preparedness

do you ever stop yourself
from fully grasping an idea
because it’d be devastating

i have found that many people feel this
but for whatever reason don’t say It

if i could just change this one thing
about love
it could be our favorite thing
in the world

i can’t look away from people
actively processing impossible news

it’s like stones marrying each other
under extreme heat and pressure
incomprehensible
