i did swear to write stars to your name
and you gave me champagne tongued kisses in return
you said you wanted to be god for the day
and so of course my fingers started tripping poetry, with you center stage, glorified,
you are god of me, raining solace in may,
you are god of me, here and now, center stage,
i let you order me to my knees,
you are god of me, and inside my head,
i let you bend stars to do your will
then you asked me to show you what an ocean feels like,
so, i took off saturn’s rings to mark your edges, inside my head,
made you boundlessly deep, and gratified,
you worked your salt fingers through my hair,
you were the sea, weeping, wild currents,
you were the sea, inside my head, ferocious and witty in only cruel ways
this is why you like me,
inside my head,
i could write you a thousand skins,
and you only ever wanted to shape-shift endlessly
