THE DAY WE LIVED FOREVER

the day we fell in love
was the best dream
i ever had,
but seeing you there,
the faint drawing
of your breath,
the brush of ur lips against
mine, honey and milk
mixed in a bowl,
a glass, a ceramic
cup: oh!
patroclus, my lover,
my humanity,

nothing can compare
to that sensation.

immortality means nothing
without you.
