your eyes are too close together and far apart and when
the world spins on its axis is when you have found me,
again. in turn, i do not let you see past your eyeglasses,
when your love is so bright it sets me ablaze. my petals
have fallen and my crops are blackened by your heart.
i say i love you too, but your wildfire roars in my ears.
i cannot hear a thing.
