Jan 2010
relief;
tying her
---together,
her heart,
wrapped in white,
and
---in
blue,
maybe a little pink.
deciphering the truth
through all these strings,
half-knotted, half-tearing
and half still thick with light.
and
---glowing
happiness,
---desire
radiating through her
letting the world know
where her life will go in ten years
or maybe fifteen.
these two,
these very few
can touch
---and
feel
and let themselves care
oh, they do, they do.
lights decorating their eyes
their clothes loose and ill-fitting.
she doesn’t mind;
he doesn’t mind.
lungs swimming within her
and letting out sighs,
sighs of
---hidden
relief
buttery love
and creamy
---forgiveness
chloroform their
necks
