young at night

angelic shadows are

so

much brighter

in the night.


i study

the geography of constellations

on my skin,

in a room full of

moonlight.


my hands catch

in rays of

barely tangible

moonshine and there’s something

familiar in the cold light.


everything is sacred

in the hours of silence;

mirrors shatter

and clothes are uncomfortable.


my eyes burn

and my flesh melts away,

and there’s something

about the scrutiny of the moon’s

gaze

that makes me think i could be enough.


the smell of

moonlight

blinds me

more and more,

and my vision blurs completely.


music tastes like my

childhood,

and i think maybe

that’s not finished yet.


i’m still young

enough to dream

and love with my whole heart,

young enough to ignore the

messages time sends me

and young enough to

let the notifications pile up.


young enough to

be desperate to know myself,

and young enough to

learn a little bit more

everyday.


young enough to

find my truth

in the patterns of the

stars and

young enough to

learn to love myself a

bit more everyday.
