Lightning Touch

you are

my most safe

most dangerous 

friend

and

when I look 

in your head

I see a million stories 

I haven’t listened to yet

piled like jewels

that’s why

I don’t peek

under the surface 

I want you 

to keep surprising me 

for another 

nine thousand days 

maybe by then 

I’ll be accustomed 

to the way 

the clouds tear 

over the sky

and the lightning 

touches me

with its 

burning hands
