"I love you," he said.
"Yes, I know that," I said, "but are you in love with me?"
He paused for a second.
I didn't need him to say anything else.
In his hesitation, I found my answer.

~ An excerpt from a book I will never write.

letter L, by letter O know
your heart must know

she answered no
her heart blinked " i do!"

letter V by letter E
your heart will be
only for me

she refuse and pay
her beauty sight away
her heart could say
i love you as the tree

dig in deepest road
and it branches are upward

letters these are four
do not differ their bond
or you will be a ghost

at feeling, sleeping or having a thought

the horses are still beside the hill
the hotel still has a neon sign
that’s pleasant as the wild way he would
say it as it is

I finally laid her to rest.
Once keeper of all the secrets I possessed.
Red ran down her silvery talons in thin rivulets.
Salty sobs burned the **** she left on my breast.
