#Finite

We are ever temporary
between
our collapsing bodies

We are ever momentary
between
our expanding breaths

We are living history
between
our changing presence

could never be mad
at you for being yourself
don’t be mad at me

I imagine if you drew lines
between my freckles
it would be constellations
and my body could be a map
to your today or tomorrow
if you know navigation-
or maybe just tell you a
fortune if you believe in
signs;

my freckles, your
stars, could be
aligned

It's the curse of poetry
to read someone's
bloody heart
and think
you're
in love
don't fall
for it, for them
you'll only break
a hundred times over
