Offset Fifteen
It is the summer soltice and
I slept without a blanket last night,
wanting your body
wrapped 'round the warmth
of my naked skin
I haven't quite figured out yet:
Why don't you come over here?
It left me permanently scarred:
all the note said was
goodbye.
Some days I still feel you.
I've your handprints across my arms
from where you held onto me.
My whole body trembles
under each layer of flesh.
I wait patiently,
for it is always better to cry in winter.
Poem created using excerpts from 'Of Gods and Women, 'Bare' 'Feather/Stone', 'Closed for Cleaning', 'Which of the Gods?', 'The Name of My Town', '6969', 'The Note', 'Some Dayes', 'Dearest You', 'PND', and 'If You Were Wondering'.
