I read her skin like my favorite novel
memorizing the lines and passages of time
and tracing her character outlines
until we hit the ******
-- they call it the apex of emotion
I call it the pinnacle of her arch
because her back becomes broken dialogue
monologues reduced to gasps
while the innermost character struggles are flung
wide open, until a million errors spill out
punctuation out the window
grammar's gone through the door
my name becomes an expletive
I read her skin like my favorite novel
-- there's something different every time
