But I can't say that aloud; I can't tell anyone that I have been waiting for this all my life and that being chosen to wait is the reason I can. If I were able I'd say it. Say make me, remake me. You are free to do it and I am free to let you because look, look. Look where your hands are. Now.

the ending loom.

It's like going back to when we wore our mothers shoes, clanking around to hear the chimes of our souls take beat against the crystal ground. China sets bottled in boxes licked with tape, peeling to be more than just ourselves.

Without warning to lift up our cups hot water pours over itself, leaving clumpy wet sugar sprawled out against the grids of our maps. Suddenly, as if everything wasn't really anything, we're taken. The lust for wings is surrendered. Like shapes that are torn by the sharp side of the moon we realize that even we can't be more than just stars. And not even the type that are drooled over by astronomers. As numbered bodies we will give off sapless balm, raped, under the sunset of our age.
