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

reading with a lover
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
