Description i wish i could singe my words
to your body;
maybe then i could
keep track of them.
if i could wound you,
split your skin and write
into the ice-scabs
run elastic through the seams
and tug,
until i am compressed
to a sugar pill,
small enough to keep in
the crook of your elbow
past the sun's death.

i want to remain.

woven into your various systems
and whispering through dishes,
wrinkles in your palm,
enveloped in the quietness
of lamp beams,
blinding and naked.
i want to keep you up at night,
have one-sided conversations
disintegrate into your memory,
into the burble of your constant mind.

Gosh, this is so beautiful.

I could imagine the whole thing, I could relate, and it made me smile.

Sometimes I feel like it's impossible to NOT ruin a relationship because I am confused and disorganized and I forget what I'm talking about halfway through a sentence. That's what this one made me think about, that desperate attempt to bind together.

The emotion in here is so beautiful, and it's something hard to access completely, and it's white and dusty and dry, and so lovely. xox
