really beautiful things fall together
the way i fall into your lap at a wild raunchy party
wistful of the morning to come
when i won’t be near you
and you will be near here
and the really beautiful thing is the sunrise
rising despite the moon
because of the stars
for the sake of the planets
the cosmos have to much to teach me
come down and teach me
crash the earth to bits with all the ancient wisdom of
below freezing mass of rocks
and air i cannot breathe
and wind i can see
and soil the color of a martian’s eye socket
come down and teach me
there’s so much to learn in this highly
limited
time
i need to know the word for the skin under the end of your nose
i need to know the amount of space between god and the sistine chapel
i need to know the numeric value of love on any day but february fourteenth
if i die before i wake from the daily grind
let’s imagine god greets me with fresh coffee grounds in a big bag
woven from stardust and planetary waste
breathe deeply, my child, its the smell of rebirth.
and he’ll take me very close to his big barrel chest
fuzzy with heavenly chest hair
and tell me,
“it’s okay”
unless he’s a she, or either or or
then she’ll kiss the skin of my forehead
rub lilac on my temples
and usher me into a wading pool of wine and endless wedding dress lace
really beautiful things fall together
the avalanches fall over people
with more life left to live than leaders of men
lepers have every reason to greet the sun
the way mourners have every reason to smile
not because there’s a tomorrow
or the chance at another yesterday
but because today rose
like your arms in a morning stretch
and gave the gift,
no ribbons no wrapping,
of a whole new day to try again
i know i don’t speak from experience
i know my first world is the awful catalyst to your third
but really beautiful things fall together
the way i want to fall to you,
and keep you warm
and keep you safe
and keep you free
despite the moon
because of the stars
for the sake of the planets
the cosmos have to much to teach us
come down and teach us
