we freeze together two ice sculptures

solid ice except for our breath hot as a volcano

you are a volcano inside of me I want to

pour baking soda into you and feel you erupt feel you succeed

feel your success

This train ride is a short one

I am on a train that lasts forever with her

There are beds that we sleep on

and breakfast for dinner

There’s no reason to tweet her because we’re always in the same train

no service here anyways

your hands are softer than newly printed paper

I want your hands in my hands

and my hands in your hair brushing your hair

with my fingers

you have such clean fingers

There is a famous portrait in a famous pyramid

that has not been very well taken care of.

The hair of the woman it depicts has faded to brown

and her eyebrows have rubbed away

It is of a diamond I know

I can only hope another portrait will be done

of her soon, to replace the old one.

She has a different brightness in her smile now, and more modern clothes.

you are my brightest diamond
