Acoustic Memories

|| a map unfolding ||

you coming in was a rainbow crashing in a million angles.
we were born seven days apart. two misty eyed libras- no,
two scales clashing into one another, and balancing out perfectly.

before i met you i used to hide my scales
away from the rest of the world.
they dumped mud on them and growing flowers
never balanced it out for the life of me.
you coming in was a garden blooming- a sudden spring, a
lovestruck moon settling itself on me light as a feather.

the mud was disgusting. i tried to clean my scales and it
grew so much more; they tainted the brush i used to clean it with.
the cleaners came in, and did an okay job.
my mental health was improving, my mud could grow
flowers and my scales were nearly balanced.

a lily for forgiveness. a rose for all the love. an orchid for the
way you and i and everyone else is never fully light or dark-
but i could use both sunlight and moonshine. the grey could
be a million different hues and still glimmer. i have more room
for flowers, but i also have time.

one thousand and ninety five days later i'm partly clean and
it's you, your light. people can't be definitions, i know,
but you're the entire dictionary. you point out the
goddess in me, and she smiles because in your eyes
she is everything anyone could ever be, and heartache
seems so far away when we're hand in hand and head on shoulder.

time scares me. we're apart in age and
moving away is a curse and i'm terrified because
losing you would mean a galaxy crashing, and distance
is a map i'd fold anytime to get back to you
when i lose my way.

but till then, my love? the universe will
conspire for us. we will be okay, you and i.
our hearts know the path back to one another.
