farting and scratching,
yawning and trembling,
worrying about suspicious moles
and infidelity,

After thousands of years, of timeline tenderness. I become a jewel for you, somehow better with age. But that mosquito of mistrust, is embedded in the centre. A constant reminder that you are deadly. I am a sap for you, your lava-love trickles like syrup down my tongue. And solidifies, trapping my heart like that poor little insect.

kiss my face,
my fingers,
the palms of my hands.
leave your mark
on my skin; abiding
impressions of the seconds
we shared,
so that i might remember you still,
at the end of time
when my memory has faded,
the sun has dimmed,
and you have fallen asleep.
