Literature Text

We stroll at night and there is the cobalt blue breeze on our defiant arms
we are fading to midnight while fireflies die, blinking out
with the heat and the water bleeding from the morning-after air

smelting.

your loquaciousness
a swelling of words an ebb a flow
a purification, in my silence, a melting of my ore-world
into a solid solitary spiraling element:

pair of dirty stumbling sockfeet picking their way
across the dewgrass and your body is singing.

You burn in this ashdark like molten gold.

   I will douse all my flaws
   in your lion's perfection

and I will mold us both
into one useless lump of flawless metal
we will be whole as I could never be
without you.
debating between copper baby and element.
Opinions? Preferences?

Written this summer, dreaming about midnight escapades
I love nature and who
doesn't
