I plummeted through the atmosphere
and you smiled,
standing there 
with your barbed wire net.

Promises stalked through my blood cells
and among the blank light
I believed.

Don’t speak, I begged your eyes,
but they screamed much louder
than the torrent of sound upon your whisper.

You wrapped each syllable
with a shining ribbon
and left glitter footprints.

Wrong.
          Right…

They swayed,
they pushed,

and the moon fell.
