Slowly embracing the moon, was the sky

with his arms to encircle it.

Surrounding worlds staring back at him

jealous of spaces bigger than them,

perfectly fitting into the sky's eyes

while they contemplate his smile

from a spot, as a flaw.

Invisible, untouchable,

outcasted, yet unbreakable:

outsiders of a tablespoon,

and tied up with glue.


He never noticed how they lined up on his collarbone.

(They tricked him, she saved him.)

He never heard a whisper, or felt their angry sighs.

(The necklace of the wicked was ripped away from him.)

There, the moon rests against the sky,

breathes through his chest

too bright to be unseen,

too bright to be forgotten.

Clouds have covered the lovers

while midnight still is smiling,

far from where jealousy lies.

The sky bent like a dimple

though it soon would have become flat,

and a-layered,

as a paper dream.
