sure the green grass
blue undertones
and brown glass
dropping water on you like rain, it doesn't matter

except that this was yesterday

today the face of your smile
reflects your eyes
like you swallowed stars
traveled light their miles
came back and now you talk about it

I could listen to this as you flow
dew
days or even hours
lights before the morning

I could love you like the air
that you would turn into
the thick beauty of a song

if it ever came to this

    to me, this is the most beautiful piece you've ever written
    downright beautiful
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    you sound different--more beautiful
    even larger than usual
    something greater than all of us--
    I love it.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing......Only I will remain—Dune, George Herbert
    In every cloud, in every tree—filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day—I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women—my own features—mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!—Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."
