We met at a party
And we were drawn
Like two lanterns
Lost in the eye of a universe
Found in a tunnel
Deliberate, small
Smaller than everything,
We fell in love
Crusted lips, suffering, engorged
Bursting into secret darkness
We spoke of marriage
Children are pointless
Determined, we create
Desperate, large
He told me
He would continue
After my heart ends
He would go on
And on and on
There are always other parties
Breathless, wild
Anonymous beasts
Are everywhere



A meeting of "single serving friends" as Chuck Palahniuk would have called them. That moment of deep connection that you know will never be repeated- it is very powerful. I am not sure, exactly, how two lamps are drawn together, though...?
