Asteroid

quick as an asteroid crossing the night sky, I 
fell under the influence of your polaroid beauty 
while you remained oblivious, perhaps by choice 
while I lay longing in purgatory, dreaming that maybe 
maybe in another life, you’d be ready to hold me  
and at last, I’d be ready to let myself fall  
to take your hand and drown myself in you.  
vibrant. euphoric. impossible.
