Jett pushes
|
||
|
|
push-pins
|
||
|
|
into my skin
|
||
|
|
to mark points of interest.
|
||
|
|
Future road map of Sablade,
|
||
|
|
back roads and highways,
|
||
|
|
arteries and veins.
|
||
|
|
Volcanic activity,
|
||
|
|
mass fauna migration,
|
||
|
|
cystic acne,
|
||
|
|
skin irritation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two angels nude on the beach,
|
||
|
|
swept up in back-and-forth
|
||
|
|
of arrhythmic heartbeats
|
||
|
|
and ocean waves on the shore
|
||
|
|
and probably fervent copulating
|
||
|
|
given enough time alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've become my own home.
|
||
|
|
The sand
|
||
|
|
in my grasp
|
||
|
|
and the water that laps
|
||
|
|
around us that Jett snorts in on accident
|
||
|
|
and turns her head to wheeze out and we laugh
|
||
|
|
is just as much a part of me
|
||
|
|
as my own physical body.
|
||
|
|
The woman above me is breathtaking
|
||
|
|
even as she hides a blush with her hands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's not possible for me
|
||
|
|
to stop being
|
||
|
|
the Anima Mundi
|
||
|
|
of Sablade.
|
||
|
|
And for once in my life, I thank
|
||
|
|
my Meridian blood and its curse
|
||
|
|
for the world it demanded I make:
|
||
|
|
now I can keep this woman I love safe
|
||
|
|
and unharmed in world-wide embrace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"So much of me
|
||
|
|
is wrapped up in you, Lethe,
|
||
|
|
that I see you in everything."
