the blankets are
heavy on my chest
so heavy
heat fuzzes
over me
the monochrome
with streaks
of color at the lines
fast-forward
fast forward
at the forefront
of my mind
but round browns
overwhelm,
puddling
through the cracks
warmth strums
through my muscles
my mind is in
a lilac mood
if my brain were busier,
it would notice
the galaxies
behind my eyes
but my body is
immoveable,
soft,
vulnerable,
in the warm blackness

Like clouds love to cry
And the sun loves to smile
Like mountains love to sleep
Like hot cocoa loves marshmallows
And like marshmallows love a campfire
And like the firewood loves to be
Damp on a camping trip
Like bubbles love to pop
Like my shoe loves to crunch a leaf
Like pancakes love to stick to the pan
Like rain loves gloomy days
Like bobby pins love to lose themselves
Like an escalator loves to trip me
Like my computer loves to pretend
That I didn’t save my document
Like my hair loves to go frizzy
Like my nail polish loves to chip off
Like my feet love the dewy grass at 2 am
Like freckles love to make
Constellations on your face
I love you.
