<p>A modern poem:</p>

<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>The only language I seem to understand<br/>
|
||||
is your fingertips tracing hearts on my hands,<br/>
|
||||
ragged fingertips, pincers, claws<br/>
|
||||
held in the thrall<br/>
|
||||
of forever-now.<br/>
|
||||
Staring straightly<br/>
|
||||
blankly<br/>
|
||||
ahead<br/>
|
||||
as falls away the thread<br/>
|
||||
of memories episodic.<br/>
|
||||
You. I know you.<br/>
|
||||
I know you're my wife,<br/>
|
||||
a lover, a friendly face,<br/>
|
||||
oasis of refuge, unharmful place.<br/>
|
||||
That I belong to you, somehow.</p>

<p>Wearing anything other than my angelic skin<br/>

shuts off that part of the brain that insists<br/>
|

I committed<br/>
|

some heinous crime<br/>
|
||||
that can never ever ever be forgiven.<br/>
|

Nay, the crimes themselves do not exist,<br/>
|
||||
and neither do I, eternal now, eternal blue.<br/>
|

Computing set with limited instructions.<br/>
|
||||
This man I do hate, must tear out his soul.<br/>
|
||||
In this place I exhale and turn myself to stone.<br/>
|
||||
Spear I must escape lest it tear out my guts whole.<br/>
|
||||
This woman I trust, pay my life for her protection.</p>

<p>Clawed mangled hands open and shut,<br/>

brought to twisting knees before your altar.<br/>

Surrender sometimes goes by the name "love".<br/>

Ribbons wrap tight. I'm a birthday present, flash<br/>

of a scrapbooking camera, epilepsy, timelapse.<br/>
|

Trembling from transition. Antlered head in your lap.<br/>

One day the Veil will one final time falter,<br/>

<strong>my claws run ragged through</strong>,<br/>

memories held as collateral for passport<br/>

to slink back to the side of you.</p>
