Valencia

a new fleet of sunsooooooooooooooooooooorealigns
evaporates stillborn clouds
enlightens a stubbornly black skyooioooooooooand
night poursoooooooooooooooooooooooioooooodown
in thin,ooiioambitious streams of light
lubricating the soil
like erotic spring rains

this was our first time making love
ignoring
the black moon
illuminating our sweat-soaked bodies
and dampening our tongues with sex as we explore them

finally

we’ve earned this chance to shape constellations
tracing stars on our naked backs

we’ve earned this moonshine
a rewarding blue glow
glazing our newly virgined flesh

we’ve earned this song
our song
melodic mirrors
dancing on new legs

we’ve earned this
light
our wings
and chance at flight

we’ve earned this

our last chance
to join these stars
and never again love a dead sky
