you're a wildfire,
spreading through me
faster than summer's heat
through prairie brush.
you fill me up,
your breath is hot on my mouth.
you shot across my sky, a meteor across
the night sky, a blazing trail left behind.
you burn up all the stars and leave nothing to be seen
but you.
suddenly, everything is on fire.
there's brilliancy, there's beauty.
my eyes are blinded by the light,
and i can't see the sun, i can't see the moon anymore.
you've lit up my night, my day,
my eyes and my mind and heart
are the brightest, the clearest they've ever been.
