My heart refused to surrender the memory of your lips your breath your voice your eyes your hair your skin your legs your *******
So I did the next best thing which is to lock you in a box and send it tumbling clattering into the shadows of my soul where even my darkest impulses hesitate to roam.
For I have already scattered to the wind thoughts of you of where I used to nuzzle your neck of your sighs as you straddled me and rained kisses on my shoulders as I explored the white plains and valleys of your neck with my lips your opaque tresses enclosing us like a velvet curtain of that spot behind your ear that turned you into a convulsing puddle of the secretive smirk as your lips ambushed mine while the bacon burned itself to a charred crisp ignored for a few stolen afternoon moments.
The waters have swallowed up the foregone moments of silence as you devoured yogurt cup after cup with manic zeal of afternoon naps interspersed with locked lips and remorseful embraces of nights shattered by raised voices and silent tears of quiet revelations as heaven descended while you wrapped yourself around my arm.
The few treacherous strands of recollection I leave to the roaring sands sleek as silk and strong as steel obstinate cobwebs sticking to my hair and skin indifferently recurring flashes of reminiscence such as the painful cognizance only theology can exacerbate how you restrained my hands when their gesticulations crossed over into exaggeration those truly rare moments of generosity when you showed some semblance of affection or even your dogged efforts at breaking into my reverie to teach me to look past my little bio-dome and live in the world beyond.
What stubbornly remained I managed to fit into that box which refused to budge without much pleading cajoling threatening and screaming oh and physical violence helped too.
And finally over the edge it went banished down to join the growing pile of crates of memories also written off with a flippant wave of the hand and washed away with a burning wave of whiskey.
