sometimes, i wish the world was flat
the stars donated light
to my flesh
in their own attempt
to bandage the damage done
by their sun
so few hours prior
and as i stumbled,
drunk or just clumsy
it was your face
i remembered
so i looked again
and found new constellations
that must belong to this ranch
or just you and i
it was our faces connected
by a longing gaze
and the love we shared
was written there
like a poem around the moon
i thought,
oh, so that’s where
we can live and love together
and i wished the world flat
so we could jump
and land within ourselves
caught only by the tension released from our bodies
the fear of falling
