Galaxy:
a great island
of stars
in space
all held together by gravity
Her:
a great island
of beauty
composed
virgin means untainted
although i am not innocent
this is how

this olive oil has been touched
mutilated

in my art,
in my legacy.

She's not good, or ok, or fine.
She's terrible.
She can't stop the thoughts, she can't stop the swirling ideas.

Is it okay if I cheat on you?
Is it okay if I tell you goodnight I love you every time I go to sleep
Is it okay if I lie to you and take in every word you say and chew?
