We always fail
fitting love in overrun columns:
the spring reserve, blue ocean eyes
staring out on Jupiter. Heart in lens,
you drag an amber rivulet from deep sky
to cheek; breathe in aged whiskey,
wordlessly. Unfathomed

that the meteor would burst
well before impact;

that the lipstick caught itself
on the sleeve of a stranger. And to dust
the horizon crumbled.

"overrun columns"

I don't get the reference. any help?

beyond that, however, you show why napowrimo is too much too fast. craftsmanship; quality; these things take time.

thank you
