you’re the line
on which
you’ve pulled me across
into the expanse of 
universes 
where I’m happy
and you’re there
hands in mine
while stars are created
massive explosions
energy exponentially 

you are billions of years
curving inward 
possibilities unfolding
those lips
between manicured nails
flashing in the orange street lights
light laughter bouncing 
through the holograms
of reality

all of it ends
with the taste of your skin
and a long exhale
cool half-lidded smile

knowing what you do
to someone like me
