What I Should've Said When People Ask About You:




You are
the ragged breath between cries,
the space between words and the
intervals between time.

Your words are the effluent blood
draining from a dying body,
Your eyes the thunderstorms
unfolding in the night.

You are
the chasm in my head,
the moment between waking and sleeping,
the radioactive particles invading my body and the
ethereal quality of dreams.

You are
the echo behind my thoughts and the
scent issuing from my skin.

Your touch is the inexorable waves crashing
onto the pliant sand,
Your lips an impending
love poem.

You are everything
and more
and you are nothing.
