Some things spoken – like the curl of their upper lips
Some things hidden – wary eyes, pleas stilled by a click
An internal dialogue between
2 figures mounted on a wall
Darling, I want to be lost to you. Only you.
Go on, my sweet.
More rivers and oceans were added to our collection
Fragments
of
life
We laughingly called those waters Trouble,
and we named the swimming fish Love.
This was our story
Once, my heart tumbled
and rolled down the ground;
You picked it up and ate it.
You sponged up my blood
and poured it gently into the sea.
You smiled your teeth white, a tooth glimmered with a !ping!
Some things you cannot grasp at all,
You can only stand there
with that 1 spotlight
that illuminates
an illusion
of understanding.
