the sharks…
the sharks…
of love and truth
the boy who inhaled candle flames 1
asked the girl who sometimes did the same: 2
do you love me, dear, 3
or do the continents get in the way? 4
the girl whose palms were greased with shame 5
replied to the boy who often did the same: 6
i love you like the million miles, 7
nothing gets in the way; 8
our holy secret and how it pertains 9
to our unholy friendship and our memorial stains, 10
our desert love the city couldn’t contain, 11
my estrus leftovers, your penchant to maim– 12
all that matters is through the pain 13
you’re smiling, i’m smiling, 14
and the smiles are never vain. 15
