_Rommel & Olivia

.

“THE EARTH TURNED to bring us closer,
it spun on itself and within us,
and finally joined us together
IN THIS DREAM.”[1]

“Another land, ANOTHER AGE, Another self _

Before all had happened that has happened since
and is now arranged on the SHELF OF MEMORY in a sequence that I call Myself.”[2]

” SOMEONE ASKED ME  W H A T  H O M E  W A S _

_& all I could think of were the stars on the T I P  O F  Y O U R  T O N G U E _

_the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.”[3]

“I HAVE IMAGINED YOU BEGINNING THIS BY CANDLELIGHT,
so I have let the rain scribble itself across your window,

written how your flesh seems to breathe like the petals
of a flower, how my fingers trace the shallow pockets
behind your knees, because, in truth, THESE LINES COULD LEAD US ANYWHERE.”[4]

“I want every piece of me
to crash into every piece of you,
I swear to god that’s how they make stars.”[5]

“I – I WANT TO MAKE YOU A PLANET.

II. I will put the galaxy in your hair.
III. Your kisses are a mouthful of firewater.
IV. I have never seen a more beautiful horizon than when you close your eyes.

V. I have never seen a more beautiful dawn than when you open your eyes.”[6]

.

I WANT
to be
SOMEBODY‘S
HIDING PLACE.

“The place they can put everything they know they need to survive,
every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer,
and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe.
I will keep it safe.”[7]
