• Loving a person so much they become a comet
    You’ve got stars in your hair
    Oh, you who are so tangled in the universe
    Even that unfolding expanse
    Is not enough to hold all of this love
    There is so much
    Spilling from my eyes
    Into the dirt at my feet
    Rivers running into the sea

  • “Come to bed?” His voice, rough from sleep and overuse, breaks through the darkness and finds you where you sit, perched on the edge of the bed like a bird poised to take flight. You feel him move, hear the rustle of the bedsheets, and then he’s behind you, right behind you, warm and inviting. He wraps his arms around you, holding you back against his chest, anchoring himself to you and you to the bed. “Don’t fly away just yet.”
