Molotov Love Letter
Don’t you know love is messy?
You said we are scraps
of the universe tasked
to see itself
-- and now I see that whenever
I gaze into your eyes,
a galaxy all in hazel.
How funny we happened to cross paths.
Long ago we might have combusted
in the same star
and our atoms once collided --
we have a history of bumping into each other dear,
from every confession tender
to every word shouted
at police shields.
I stand with you still.
And they,
they will falter and shake
on their ratty knees as
blood and booze spill to the sewer.
You know love is messy.

How funny we happened to cross paths.
Long ago we might have combusted
in the same star
and our atoms once collided --
we have a history of bumping into each other dear,
it’s been so long.
I still remember every contortion of your vocal chords,from every confession tender
to every word shouted
at police shields.
I stand with you still.
And they,
they will falter and shake
on their ratty knees as
blood and booze spill to the sewer.
You know love is messy.
