she says
i should neither touch her
light-plastered fringes
nor the sibilance
of eyes.
it would be unwise
while i am amidst
the storm of laughing
if you say
that my heart
does not shatter
in our despondence.
trilling in light
is the colloid of breath
foaming in the silence
shrapnels of this mellifluous
separation - we, flawed,
dawdling is this punctuation
of you and i
are no more
because you do not
gape with the voice
of sweetness like a cigarette
receiving the shadow
of my once dark being,
yet, someone within me
whose hands still carve
the figure reminds me
of
you.
