new year's day
last night I was tripping over stairs and words
the stars and lights of the city
growing blurrier with each passing hour
we were dancing, running
from the past to the future
we collapse into bed
and I whisper my secrets into your hair
midnight turns to morning
ends into beginnings
the moon remains
this afternoon I wake up with the sun in my eyes
cold winter light pouring through the city
so it grows clearer with each passing hour
we lie, immovable
and time stops for us
we walk the streets
as you wind your fingers into my hair
noon turns to evening
hellos into goodbyes
the moon remains
tonight I fall asleep with blood on my lips
teeth sharp like a hungry fox
running beneath the light of the waxing moon
we are racing, flying
from the past to the future
we dissolve into dreams
our hair tangling along with the sheets
one turns to two
dark into light
the moon remains
