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."
