and you coated my ears in honeydew
it dripped down my throat
milky and cool
swam in my belly
where I kept the secrets we made
as we sat in maple trees
aching and laughing
never in the same moment
I took that day
I melted it down
careful to preserve every leaf
the rough bark that splintered my finger
the bruise on your knee when you fell
that look when our thoughts coalesced
but neither would mention they had
I torched it
until every crystal would never move again
