glam




the last time they collided
she formed a rock band out of her fingers
and went on a grueling four hour tour across his body
coast to coast
and toes to nose
she drew stars on his chest with her eyeliner pen
and painted planets across his stomach with her lipgloss
by the time she left
all the stars and painted planets
had melted and morphed into comets
and for days afterwards he kept discovering
splinters of glitter
upon his lips

Wow. Those words had some crazy effect on me.

I have loved finding (and leaving) splinters of glitter.. reminiscent of those "small spaces where satisfaction lingers.." to quote you to yourself

Delicious and bright. I enjoyed this immensely.
