Sweet Talk
"Before you my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

Street Lamps


Running

under hundreds of street lamps,

 I fall into yours

My melting skin drips

until I press against your metal spine

Once I’ve turned solid again,

I hopelessly pace around your base,

waiting.

Waiting for your face to die out

 so I may climb up high

And kiss the light back into your wires.
