“In my head, you are singing on my mouth again but this time,
I kiss you back, twice instead of once, crooked and with more tongue. In some weird realm, this keeps you and so the song has minutes now //
it brings a thread of sun onto the bed,
a softness to the knot of us. Look at the small details I rewire in our flimsy silhouettes just to fill my hands with you over and over. How all of this shadow can invade me, and after it, I can only hope a dream is a memory somewhere…”
