i just don't understand
how such a tiny
lil
dainty thing
like
you
could take up SO MUCH space
inside my mind & even come
flooding clumsily into my ugly heart...
your ringed
fingers forming bridges
across the tread marks
left behind
by earlier attempts to find you
((by other women i mistook for you)),
tiny smoldering campsites
& a persistent rhythm
marking the remnants of relationships
that your eyes help me forget...
yes
when i stretch out on your retinas
the others don't exist
yeah
when i fixate on your freckles
there's no echo o o
in my head.
you've filled it up entirely &
my eyelids keep the image in....
imagine what the ending is
if the beginning blows my mind like this!
we are simply freckles
on the face
of god
& you won't stick around for long
so i'll just be yours until you're gone.
