to you
March 9, 2013
if you held my heart with your tongue
I think it would be healed I think
your saliva would stay
in my golden mines and we’d never
ever have to worry about
preservation or conservation or moration
but only respiration and perspiration and
balcony full moons only whether your
tongue blocks an artery or a vein
because my blood only ever rushes or sleeps and
and usually it’s dormant until
you write my name on your wrist or whisper
princess in my ear

This was beautiful! It has an airy quality that seems to catch in my throat as I read the words.
