| my eyes flicker once each time I kiss you, looking for mines in your lashes that mean I'm too close.
they explode, twist my nervous system, stretch the ends of my bloodstream beginning to start in yours.
we cross a border of disconnect and you map my body with the hissing metal of your after-fire.
I put my glasses down, and lean in. outside your door, the light shivers. the air moves quietly beneath us.
your sheets wrinkle.

| I began parting my hair again. faretheewell, bangs. yesterday I took over my life. it's not a to-do list; it's a resolution.
I talked to a friend yesterday. some of them aren't replaced every seven years.
the sun is nice. I will read on the lawns today.
I should really develop my film.

| yes, I don't like umbrellas. I'm still waiting for something beautiful to happen in the midst of the muddy streets and the unblinking lights of a fast-approaching car.
I'm waiting for a long exposure; the slow ease of snow as it descends at night on the color-burned leaves of recycled summer. I want that slow kiss that lets the poetry slip from my mouth enough to the rattle my love in the breast of an invisible girl. I want it more than the clash of fabric and perspiration in a blue green room where arms skim arms in hopes of finding unknown words.
no, see me and hesitate like the rain after a storm on a lily petal, lingering in a kiss before falling.

| I took out my headphones tonight. The bass is an old comfort in my head. I used to take out my headphones to remove myself from the world. I listened to soundtracks when I studied; I listened to quiet folk in the car to avoid conversation. When I ran, music would erase my memories of the day.
There is nothing I want to forget here. I have never felt so happy for so long. This is every way in which I want to fall in love.
