Royal Albert Hall in London
Christmas Eve concert
              Mozart!

the tiles are cold
***** and wet
but the blood is warm
crimson, flowing down her wrists
warm

if it takes 28 days
for skin to renew,
then i have been
13 new versions of myself
since i last felt your touch.
each day gets longer,
yet i still hear your name
in the ocean waves
and your moon soaked kisses
still keep me up at night.
