@rorystarr they are fairies and the best thing to do is stay the fuck away from them.

maxrjovbi, to poetry

Ecliptic Joy

So close to death is the sorrow of love
—the ecliptic joy,
that I can feel its
long fingertips,
its sharp, venom-dipped nails
reach behind, right behind,
my inward-turned eyes:
they no longer see what I've always felt
they've seen,
they see man as you saw him—
in everyone else.
