cloudy skies
23:30;

one windy afternoon
you finally spoke to me

i wanted to say
so many things
but i didn't

you asked me
to meet you at
the observatory's library
at exactly 6:00
the following morning

your hair was disheveled
in frizzy tufts

soft, dark crescent moons
below your eyes
nearly kissing
your lashes

i had acknowledged
your bizarre oddities

i believed them
to be charming

but even such
a request
from you
was peculiar
to me

-are you okay?
