And NO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it won\u2019t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
take<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YOU<\/p>\n\n\n\n
are magic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stardust<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and <\/p>\n\n\n\n
bubbly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on wet grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YOU are\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wisdom, and wonder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and strength,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and deeper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
than<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dark water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you refuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to swim <\/p>\n\n\n\n
in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YOU are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
partly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as I long<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To hold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
your<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hand,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and to <\/p>\n\n\n\n
rage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
against<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the shitshow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
going<\/p>\n\n\n\n
down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear Phoenix,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
will rise<\/p>\n\n\n\n
again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For even<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in ashes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
your <\/p>\n\n\n\n
gloriousness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
profoundly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
outshines<\/p>\n\n\n\n
even<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the most robust<\/p>\n\n\n\n
beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheers to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YOU, dear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For we<\/p>\n\n\n\n
will look<\/p>\n\n\n\n
back on these<\/p>\n\n\n\n
crazy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
days, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that they<\/p>\n\n\n\n
were the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
beginnings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of your<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wonder years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
