one-
the water bearer shines down on US
quizically quacky and weird
hearts open wide at this crazy invention
an intervention of love
laughing so hard i can’t breath
living so much i can’t dream
are you really all that you seem?
Happy Birthday, US.
two-
swim with me in this vast ocean
i’m drowning with you in a parking lot
two fish trapped, encircled together
lost, never to be found again
never wanting to be found
twirl, twirl, fall down giggling
i lOve you, i lOve you, i lOve you
three-
play with me and lets begin
a war tonight that never ends
you&me against the world,
two hands that naturally curl
around like vines, pulling you to me to you
an inseperable pair, let
the miserable stare and point their fingers
the joyful can laugh and applaud
neither will effect US
four-
Loss&Gain
stubborn as a bull
lost everything but won’t lose you
lose everything but don’t lose me
gain everything and i’ll still have you
gain everything and you’ll still have me
cry, don’t lie so still
work, don’t toil
patterns breaking, hearts aching
through damnation and fire,
i’d never quit you
five-
quicksilver, mercury
neglect and fury
no voice leaves no choice
no choice leaves US broken
i wish i could be smaller,
maybe i’ll stop trying and let
you take me down, in rubble
and burnt ash on the ground
the end: two lovers holding hands,
making a choice: each other.
six-
Brightest light we’ve ever seen
you&me caught in between
moon mother, and father sun
our emotions swept out from
under the rug
making a trip to the stars and back
home
with you
where i wanted to be all along
your laughter, my favorite song
your tongue, my favorite taste
your smile, my favorite sight
your skin, my favorite sensation
your clothes, my favorite scent
There are six more months in the making, and I can’t wait to finish this a half a year from now, I can’t wait to see what those six months will bring for us. These past six months have literally been the best months in my life. I know they can only get better, while I’m with you.
I love you, Happy Anniversary.

You captured it all, so dazzlingly, month by month. The way you captured my heart…so dazzingly. Month by month.
And moon by moon, too! (did you always recognize just how much they affected us like you do here? I just got a new glimpse of our Mother…and her compelling lunar hold on us)
I sampled this whole piece in sips. It really took me back, like it took us back…all the way to the beginning. I cry when I reflect with you through these words, from laughter, from happiness, and from this other new emotion being born, even now, when I look at how much we’ve had to trample over, just to be together, even to live. I just figured out today that it’s an enormous sense of *pride*. A new kind, for me. My life is one thing. But our life is something so fragile and powerful, destined and bursting free, all at once to me. You wrote this with similar emotion. Ever the moongirl…relfective…beautifully poetic…loving…and fiercely loyal to US.
Grab my hand as we carry our lunar torch into the lions den..and beyond. My looneygirl. Fuck yes, your’re my lover, soulmate, best friend, and I love you. Our brightest light is just getting brighter, and our best love gets better.
