and you lay your head down, stop fighting..
I'm watching from inside the glass-- the curious glass with the residue shine.
.scrape every trace of you from my skin.
and remove myself from our own sky.. .
I dont even remember our last kiss, but it must have consumed me.
tore at my face.I can barely see. .
[walking barefoot on the cement sand]
...
I remember you. And for the first time the black does not wound me..
I am cradled, I am safe.
Shock this spine, but hold my hand--this morning
will be our only chance.
and January will never be the same.
No moment will be like ours.
I did love you, I did love myself.
My hair in your hands, my sympathetic smiles at what I knew would end.

...
lets take our beautiful escape
to where? to where?
Leave me to write sonnets in spanish, graced with harmonies of the melancholy violin.
the ocean appears fake.
a plastic painting in which I'd cast myself as ash..
.to taste the sweet salt.
fire to my wounds..let them be singed shut
so that I will feel nothing, and place my heart back into my torn chest...
hope, oh hope..
I wish I did not know hope.
Nothing can stay with me forever...
my grasp too loose
[ wont you shake me until I am calm]
my hands thrown mangled
hold them, we're through
....
hope.nothing.
the first kiss was almost as good as the last
