look at the ocean just look at its rippling surface the cold currents underneath, barely unseen jutting gray triangles coming to breathe (it’s a detached sort of beauty) you used to think you could dive beneath the waves fly like a gull marvel at coral jewels with slippery wings at your shoulder blades (but now you know) you can still dive beneath the waves but you sink like an anchor weep at the bleached nothingness wounds pluming red in lieu of wings (freedom is a fading concept) they drag you up above above the limpidness you call home seaweed jaws sinking into your armored back they cut away your wings (how could you not grieve?) when they finally give you back to the sea you can’t fly you can’t breathe and all you can see is crimson darkness smiling in the distance it consumes you.

fallen angel - falling slowly

‘her touch were mini supernovas, her kiss the caress of stars. and when she fell, her eyes became twin black holes, pulsating with the beat of a thousand tainted lifetimes.’

民国；China 1910s to 40s - Old Shanghai

The devils have won the city, the wolves come to feast on the weak, the alligators to snap up the dead, the opium ghosts to roam, the phosphorescent kuei huo to dance on the city’s fallen ramparts.

They say that the Milky Way has a bridge of magpies, once every seven years, for Weaver Girl and the Cowherd. On earth, high schoolers are kissing away glow stick summers while we dream each other up. You’ve got a way with words, you do, tongue like cool apple cider in backyard barbecues, heart so sweet you could raise a family on it, the soul-kinda rich no one teaches you to be. I don’t know much ‘bout space, but I think you’d give Zhinü a run for her money. she’s had decades of good love and we haven’t even met yet. flint moondust right back into that big old canopy. turn your back on the sun. so what if the universe is huge or if you’re light years away. my love for you is a galaxy, stellar cartography, cosmic gold. i’m not afraid of time. when you outwait a star, anything is possible. when you outlove a god, you will live forever.

“the coastline is dangerous,” people would say. “they come to you as alluring women, but beware. if they beckon you toward the water, singing their molasses-sweet song in your ear, that is the end. nothing can save you.”

After ten years of torture in Edom, I learnt to endure pain. In fact, I rather enjoy it.
