I realized it within a day or two of meeting him: this guy is a living artwork, a living poem.
The longer I know him, the truer this becomes. Every page I flip contains more poetry and since he has added me to his pages, I have become poetry too. It's surreal. Like living in a published leatherbound intelligent creation.
I originally viewed him like classical painters did upon a beautiful woman they wanted to depict as Athena and Antigone and Magdalene. I didn't expect that as we continued to know each other, this artistic impression of him would stay. And that he would become my muse, entirely unintentionally. 90% of my poetry these days is inspired by him and idk the last time I wrote so much.
He was so excited for me to work on my viscera poetry project. Sorry dude but you really fucked that up for me. Stop levitating in my line of sight with such expertly woven light and shadow and then maybe I can look past you.
