Poems
May 2010
my heart is as true as steel.
i am at a loss.
of words.
i want to slow down.
i want us all to slow down.
i want you to read slower.
i
want
you
to
breathe
slower.
i
want your
heart
to
beat
slower.
say my name sssssssllllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr.

kiss
me
slow.
i'll show you
what it means
to live.
you'll know
how your name sounds
in a whisper.
it doesn't
sound the same
as it does
in the light.
the night
covers our eyes
but we will not
sleep.
wecansleepwhenwe'redead.

my heart
my heart
my heart is as true as steel.
