young blood goes to wormwood

the day after they found you

a wordless homage to ophelia

i walked down to the shore

and conversed with god

trapped in a seashell

 

you're writing me letters

from out at sea

and your handwriting

is not quite the same

but it's all sealed in salt

 

you've got me on the deck

at last, and i cover

your eyes with my hands

they're in the wrong place

but that's okay

 

i can't untangle

your legs from your skirts

and your skin doesn't fit

but i've given so much

it's okay, it's okay
