frozen

galaxies put beneath you
in one fluid motion turning
from me with helium
the base elements

floating free
arms wraped in black like
the coldest
cellophane
perfectly protected and unspoiled
and so i orbit

in spiral paralax
my gravity and yours a tether
swinging us like bolos

air hissing from my lungs and
the bulge of the sphere of my
eye reflects sunlight and dazzles
tears in perfect crystal

longing to speak love
my tongue pushes hard against
the roof of my mouth and
the bottom also
