You rush within me, my veins
terrestrial planets that orbit you like...

"Can I spell it out, please?"
"Sure, go ahead.&quot...

(1).
no secrets anymore...

I hadn't thought of you all day,
and suddenly one ludicrous message...

You and I will deny the smoke, dust, rotting
carcases that hiss underneath our boots. Storm...

I endured six hours where my mind
was not preoccupied with you, but...

This morning, Time nudged me
with a touch of dread. I slept like...

-
i feel excessively...

Haven't I written myself to shame?
My intestines still multiplying...

We wear
paisley bandanas to protect...

You look lovely on a page -
peppered in ink and promise...

Skin that heals, sores that no longer
ache, hope that croons on candlelit...
