| how to hold a poet

when the weight of your guilt came crashing down on you. when the reactions to your actions were crushing you on the gravel sand. when i could not run my hand over your hard chest to calm the chaos bouncing elastically within you. i placed small soothing kisses on the petals of your lilacs printed with the golden words that flowed out of your lips as the result of the maddening moments of 2:43 am. if i touch you, you will break. the only tranquility i can offer you is by making love to your poetry.

without breaking him |
