I wrote poetry in the sand, fragile and foamed over by the sea... Shallow, lightning-glass letters, tasting of salt, of dreams, of you and me. I left footprints in the clouds, soft and brimming with crystal dew... So many little puddles of rain yet to be, reflecting the stars, reflecting me, reflecting you. There's a rainbow on the horizon that says it knows my shadow. There's a shape that your lips take when you murmur my name. I sew verses into the seams of my dress, they melt into the slick of my skin. I skip through pools in summer downpours, and wonder if I might be all there is... I held out my hand, delicate, fingers covered in ink... Like a stain waiting to claim a piece of your heart with all the pieces of me.
