ring

this man said to his wife one night that he wore a hazy mountain skyline around his heart. She did not understand what he meant but she cried so hard that it burned her insides. she cried because the idea of her husband's heart being covered in wetness and clouds was a sign that nobody could feel safe forever.

the moon, it wore a crown tonight, so large that not even arthur could adorn something so grand. seeming to hug the clouds and the stars, the ring was nearly close enough to tuck me into its whispy innerts. tonight is very tired, and i can feel the weight of distant galaxies pulling on my skin. smiling about the image in your eyes, and of your eyes' beauty, i will sleep well in your dream embrace.
