she is a cautious whisper.

i am a mistake;
(she is) the apology
on my behalf.

kissmeplease.

soft, like
soap suds and
rose petals,
on my skin.
-are her lips.

(but flowers don't bloom on charred rock.
who can tell waterfromoilfromwater anymore
in this parched dry land?
on this barren earth?)

cold metal come take me
to slice with sharp edged steel!
discarded and torn and thrown
down some sewer.

oh, she won't let you.
welded to her by
blue sparks.
black fire.

untangle, unravel those

cables down a metal walkway.
sheets on a bed.
fingers in your/my hair.
threads, woven sleeves of a sweater.

we come undone.

breathe. feel me gasp, just
breathe. clear of doubt's frigid grip, just
breathe. within reach of tenderness, just
breathe. knowingfeelingknowingfeeling, only
(breathe) her beneath the palms of my hands:

faint as the hint of smoke
dancing like the flame on a candlewick
in a temple of chiselled ivory and
smooth (butneverascoldas) marble;

this is real.

at night she
forgets, lying
still - herwithoutmewithouther.

(show me the meaning of one...)

& melts.
