“ I walk with a dual longing for life and for death. ”
I do not write to you, but of you,/because the paper that we write on/is our perishable skin.
~ Melissa Lee-Houghton
ink marks the page/where you execute your will like a doe announcing an/ox-stern mate with a single, bleary blink.
Tonight, I won't dream, because nobodyhas held me and no hands have strayed and eventhough I'm drunk with love, my arms are empty.
