"And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominously into the organic, it is a glory and a privelege to love what Death doesn't touch." -Donna Tartt, 'The Goldfinch'


we'll take on the universe together

you'll be my second in command,

exploring the cosmos in a pirate ship.

 

I've been wanting to go for a while. 

 

we'll need a light speed engine

(but of course)

how else will we see every galaxy, every supernova?

 

you say there isn't much to do

at least

not in between galaxies

but there's always something to see in the cosmos

the magic of the universe is enough for me. 

vast expanses of the deepest black that exists? 

I'll stare for hours. 

 

years between stars; 

when I tire of darkness, I turn to you. 

there's always a face to memorize,

a voice to fall asleep to. 

 

Forever. 

 

forever.

 

when there is no light left in sight, we'll make our own. 

 

we'll name my freckles when we run out of stars.
