the little-goblin girls and boys crawl through holes in the universe to find burning-star darlings made of gumdrops and broken dreams. the little-goblin girls and boys run through enchanted forests and build empires on sunbeams. the little-goblin girls and boys write black-and-white poetry for sunkissed faeries.

the burning-star darlings are sorrow-lipped and pearl-eyed, singing songs between the moon and new york city. the burning-star darlings read tolstoy on fire escapes and tattoo sonnets on blue fingertips. the burning-star darlings burn impressionist paintings into their eyes and etch love letters on their bones.

the black-and-white poets have a galaxy of misremembered loves on the tip of their tongues. the black-and-white poets wear cashmere sweaters and pleated skirts and cigarette-burned kisses from cruel boys. the black-and-white poets use silk wires to stitch up their broken hearts and electric-frankenstein minds.

the electric-frankenstein minds are marble gods--porcelain gods--gods carved from ivory tears. the electric-frankenstein minds twisted gold like blood-stained wedding rings, gunpowder-burned tragedies. the electric-frankenstein minds bleed cyanide and opium to burn the leather-bound girl with ink stains on her mind.
