We took a walk in the fall but spent most nights in my dark and windowless room killing time and avoiding intimate conversation by watching movies exchanging our warmth for safety while sorrow slept peacefully (painfully patient) at the foot of my bed I found you in the months that have passed since you left; only now have I surfaced from this ocean of pardons and memories Submerge me in your smile (drown me quickly please) or just cut me with covnersation (Give me superficial wounds; scratches that speak to any who may dare attempt to hold my body close) |
