THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU LAUGH

“The first time I heard you laugh,
I only wanted to say funny things
so you’d always be laughing.
You know what happens to chocolate
when you leave it in the sun?
I’m that unfortunate chocolate
and you, you are the laughing sun.
For this reason, I’m offering myself to you
not as a martyr or some selfless fool,
but as a self-indulgent moth
who fiercely pursues the light
without fearing the flame.
The moth who revels in the heat
and declares
Burn me.”
