moonlight & pink champagne

tonight, we are nothing but glittering bodies.

we are a shining testament to what love looks

like. we are built like a shrine of roses & our

petals never wilt. call us sun-stricken,

such glorious beings of light. we hide sugar

packets and basil in our pockets. dab lavender

and juniper oil on our wrists. the moon speaks

our name like lullabies.

tonight, the shadows can’t reach us.

tonight, we are infinitely glittering bodies.
