suddenly be.
enter your mind
to show you voids you
never knew existed. voids
that she will now fill.
take you to a meadow
middle of fall and fall
to the ground and pull at your
sleeve so you want to fall, too.
stand above you. smudgy hands-
fuls of red leaves shower down
like limp confetti. "breathe in,
don't drown."
then laugh and you
feel the air tighten around
her neck as she throws caution
and love to the wind.
leave you in your sleep.
draw you with cobwebs and shades of
last evening's sunset and the
drop of blood her kiss
had drawn from your lip.
still smile when you
see her on the street
or in your orange-purple
flame-doused dream.
part her lips a little
bit to remind you
of marks her teeth
left on your heart,
set in stone
and your broken bone.
