Mahzza was here with me tonight. His dragon form coiled around my chest and down my arm, forked tongue tasting. I wet his scales with my tears, and as I paused for breath between bouts of laughter he coiled ever more tightly. My lover, my heart, my partner. My body aches at your absence even as my heart continues to feel your work. Even in death you busy yourself with the universe. How blessed I am, to have been your other nova half of our pulsating binary dance!

Much love, my dear, dear man.

You are a deific scent on the wind,
With azure skin and veins of cloud.

Your smile a sol of golden auspice,
Your touch deep roots curled around the world.

Your voice a siren that pierces memory,
Your contrails tattoo this sphere
in ever-arcing divinity.
