Text for Tired Eyes:


I want to be the starless night and the moon filled reflections on the surface of the waters.  I want to be a long story told with fantastical details and miraculous characters and far off exotic locations and wild adventure.  I want to be a single sentence, simple and perfect that feels like a kick to the guts of us.  One sentence with few words that sums up more than ten thousand pages bound tight with leather and glue.  I want the planets to align and it to mean something special and I want to watch as stars fall for us and only us and I want to count meteors until I realize you fell asleep and I’ve been counting all this time alone.  I want to be the sun and have you warm your face to me, and I want to be the moon and guide you home.  I want to be the galaxies that fill the parts we thought black and I want to be the light that took so long to reach from there to here.  I want the universe to de-evolve and I want us to shrink back to cave people and from there back to apes and from apes back to crawling creatures and from their awkward shuffling back to the legless swimmers and from there back to spineless jellyfish and on further until we were two organisms with two cells and finally back to where we were one thing, one cell, then one atom spinning in the blackness, waiting for the explosion that would start our story. 


Fin.
