to her with tea bag eyes
and wrists like scarlet fever,
gently undue your bruising ties
and unthaw your years of winter
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
she breathed the where
and exhaled the won't be,
if only you'd been with her there,
to slow the feverish sea
--
up, to the nearest fall
down, in the mountain mist
she falls from nothing at all
just as she had wished
--
the moments leading to a place
took shape and color like music,
and with all the grace it takes
to purposefully lose it
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
to her with shaking hands
and a mind like a burning temple,
remember your wish is your command,
and to always hold yourself gentle
