We are here to love, to love

To write where the ache is and about the half-lives of sour violets and draw blood-stained conclusions and liken freckles to fireworks mouths to moths

To snowfall into the ecstasy of open arms and stumble out senseless as newborn cubs

To purge oceans from our eyes and eat fires with wet tongues and kiss the sky better when she splits into a wound

To forgive the dawn on empty stomachs and sway backwards and barefoot with legs full of butterflies

To kickstart hearts with morning-heavy hands and godless swears and bury our bones in the skin of summer—especially when it’s airthick with shadows and the sweat of stars

This poem is not a metaphor It’s a keepsake a locket click a spark and we are here to love, to love To love
