Twinkle twinkle

For most of my lifeFor most of my life

I thought the phrase "twinkle in one's eye"

Was a crock of shit

A storybook trope

That dupes the rubes holding the novel

Into falling in love alongside the protagonist

I was wrong

There it is

Right in front of me. For just half a second

A spark. A blaze. A hidden cataclysm

You smiled at me

And with it your eyes told me something

That there's more to it

There's more to this
