you carve images of angels
into my skull
where no god has ever tread
and you fill the void
with something holy
and wholly beautiful
you,
who breathes in common air
and exhales the dust of stars,
whose tongue is thick
with the infinite
my strange and awkward butterfly
that tastes of crushed wings
so foolish to think i could keep you
trapped in the cage of my fingers!
no palms fair enough
to persuade you of your freedom
what universe breeds within you
to create worlds like heartbeats:
an act of existance
rather than will
to have touched the limitless,
embraced that which cannot be held
is
here,
take my hands
i cannot write anymore.
----
written for
LostInDespair,
because
i love him fiercely
and he steals my words.
