platonic years insurrected by civil wars (again)
one girl hit by lightning (again)
x-rays of her broken limbs painted from memory
caught between flintlock and fossil
with a just-sleepy-enough, narcotic feeling
his ghost in the sock drawer
his odd fingerprints on her luggage
the wilt of flowered books
full of wide-eyed selfies
and running scared old love letters
(or were they death threats?)
all roadblocks to her star-shaped chemical world
until her coup d'état falls helplessly into the sea (again)

and running scared old love letters
