that honey, once velvet and silk,<br />
now thick and bitter,<br />
it drips from his teeth.<br />
that stars explode,<br />
shimmer and sheen disappear,<br />

and stars.<br />
heaven is not embedded into his bones.<br />
his eyes are not overflowing with oceans and clouds.<br />
they’re simply blue.<br />

untamed hair,<br />
into poetry.<br />
but when she takes it all away,<br />
he’s just a boy.<br />
