Through an endless cycle of embrace
I will go beyond all lovers
And spin your world in reverse
Travel back to a time before myths
Reimagine the universe as the shape of our kiss
Slow
Down
The
Earth
Until the core and mantle flake
Whileholdingtheatmospherewithinreach
Atlas held the celestial spheres on his shoulders
Now you hold them on your hips
And spin my world in reverse

Oh I missed this gem. I found out that over the period of Nov 2021 and Jan 2022, some blog new post notifications didn’t come across so I have missed many posts. This is one of them… 😔
