I love
(all the time).
It is exhausting
to be in love with the universe.
I fell
for the trees,
and the sky,
and the wind.
I ache
for bones,
for skin,
for blood.
I pine
for the boy
who kissed me first,
for the boy
who fucked me last.
I breathe
with the dying man
from Vietnam,
with the crying newborn
from Paris.
I love
(all the time).
I dream
(of apathy).
