love creature It has long fairytale hairs (with medieval ripples) and bushy eyebrows and pale blue lasery eyes that always scowl It has ginormous shoulders and calloused hands It has the perfect mouth. Its mouth wins my mouth It watches all the films I want to watch and wants to watch all the films I like It knows all the stars in the sky and all the rocks in the ground It knows who I was and who I am and had a big effect on the latter It sleeps on its right side which is convenient because I have to sleep on my left because of my snotty lung It likes the same creepy intimacy I'm afraid to like and in the same way (so I can cover its eyes in kohl and mush my face on its head and palms) On sad days it makes me happy and on good days it makes me whole It's kinder and calmer and stronger than anyone I've ever known or heard of It feels all my secrets and it waits while I throw up |
