“The Universe is Made of Five Things' is how it starts. He thinks it's probably the title, but his fingers don't stop long enough to let him question it any more than that. He rubs his eyes, keeps typing with shaky, jerking fingers.
'The Universe is made of hands;
Hands that twist fabric and sizzle in the air.
Hands that grasp curls and flick words away.
Small, smooth fingers pouring gold over gaping wounds.
Before slicing into soft tissue,
Blood mixing with gold.
Hands that make it beautiful.
The Universe is made of bones;
Bones that cut against yards of skin,
Warm and yielding and moulded around the wings that splay across his back.
Bones that cage the heart and dig into the hollows.
Bones that break,
Tear the warm, yielding skin.
Bones that shred and brush his chin.
The Universe is made of lips;
Lips that breathe and stutter warm sighs,
Caressing the craks in his broken body, the body that he broke.
Lips that carve paths into stone,
That leave trails upon gooseflesh,
Lips that nake incisions,
Too delicate to mend.
The Universe is made of blood;
Blood that runs warm and hot and steady and crimson,
Pumping beneath the stone and the gold.
Blood that burns with every jerk of limbs.
Blood that spills on open palms,
Staining the fabric,
Filling up his throat.
The Universe is made of eyes,
Eyes that breach and eyes that splice and eyes that never leave.
Eyes that ripple oceans.
Eyes that whisper in the dark.
Eyes that create wounds, create chaos, create broken shards of blue.
Eyes that alight and
won ' t
let
go.
The Universe was built.
The Universe fell.
You took it apart,
Draggd the chaos from my soul with your hands,
Your bones,
Your lips,
Your blood,
Your eyes,
And now you're back. And so is the Universe, And so, I suppose, am I.
The Universe is made of five things.
The Universe is made of you.”
