I use your hair
to paint an image
of self enlightenment
and try to see
the beauty you describe
in the contours of my
childish face
but the freckles obstruct
my insight,
scattering across a plane
like constellations
making me as uncertain
as space itself

Oooooh yes. Definitely worthy of gold, dear. That ending was fantastic. You never disappoint

I love this, and I think obstruct is one of the best words in the world. I'm not sure what else to say about this, just that I really really like it. If you do end up adding more, please tell me if you don't mind. I'd love to see what you do.

brilliant
there were some really strong images on this, I really got sucked into it right away. Your author notes say it's unfinished, so tell me when it IS finished. I'm judging by the end of today.
