Eight Letters
Eight Letters
You are warm like
soft novels and strands of carpet between
my toes:
I love you
You are cold like
freshly vended sodas and icy hardwood
raising hairs:
Bulls***
Find me a scale,
a perfect balance,
a
middle
I stream like salt water,
cool and hard,
stinging old memories and new injuries.
You cling like spandex,
stretch,
stretch until that fated rip.
I run like tears,
Salting satisfying grief.
You are still like branches
set deep in trunks,
sway but don't move.
I am r
falling off the page.

you are c o n s t a n t: fixed like a plane.
I love you
Bulls***
