I've never regretted comparing you to
a sunset.
I don't mind the burn, as I miss the warmth in
its absence.
You're a spellbinding coalescence of stardust,
whose orbit graces balance long
thought lost.
My only question to the powers that be,
pray... Tell:
"Does this celestial dream of me?"

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
