(falling off my feet)

I keep falling asleep with crystals in my eyes, off to dream of poetry I haven't read yet & other poetry I'm still looking for the words to write. ...and today like the day before I went out into the world to prove to it & to me that it cannot make me love it less by being itself, just as I wait up for you & you for me, on nights when the request may or may not be unspoken. yes, as late as we can.
