* * *
you ask what intrigues me in the magic of numbers in a number
I want to express the infinity of my longing of my love
I want it to congeal in a crystal of numbers so days will skid over it
like the sun over a diamond
I want it to last untainted by passing to be no more either longing or love
* * *
I'm Juliet
I am 23
I once touched love
it had the bitter taste
of black coffee
it quickened
my heartbeat
crazed
my living body
rocked my senses
it left
I'm Juliet
high up on a balcony
suspended
I cry come back
I call come back
biting my lips
I draw blood
it hasn't come back
I'm Juliet
a thousand years old
alive
