Cosmic love
she tasted like
God intended us
to be together
like the earth
and the moon
and the sun
made a celestial pact
and sent her
directly to me
cosmically
like a comet
(as a comet)
-because
when she crashed
into my arms
(I mean my heart)
that first night
I k n e w
we were made
for each other
she fit perfectly
into that hole
I had been carrying around
for nineteen years

DNR
I know I didn’t invent
electricity
but I’m not sure about
you
you shook my soul
and jolted me
back
even though I screamed:
do not resuscitate!
do not
resuscitate
you ignored
the warnings
and brought me back
you gave me life
-and love,
a broken heart
mind numbing pain
yet somehow,
I’m grateful
for all these things
-now
somehow,
I love you
even more.
-b.a
Peel me
I didn’t know
I was waiting for you
when you found me
-that I was someone
worth looking for
but even
with all these
rotten parts
you saw
something
worth knowing
someone
worth loving
somebody
worth peeling
how?
I had been
less than
for so long
I didn’t know
I could become
anything to anyone
(so this took
some getting used to
like exiting a pressure chamber)
I will always wonder;
how
did you even find me
in the first place?
how
did you know
where to look?
