the fire needs the air to burn

like a vision
from my fever dreams
you come to me
suddenly there
(no such thing as time)
and i find
i've fallen into your eyes of
darkest chocolate
while your brown hair
catches the last
of the august afternoon
light
no more flights
from worlds not our own
because all of this
is ours
this known
world
that we can taste
and touch
and nothing
is too much
to take in
all at once
or a little at a time
as some things should be
enjoyed
to avoid sudden rushes
to the head
and purple stars
blooming behind the eyes
like after
the lightning strike
yesterday
just one
hundred feet
from my car
halted on the road
to somewhere
having started off
very much
in light
lost for one brief moment in
the monsoon's
daytime dark
(no different
than night)
