still you


before you said no
slotting the world between
i within you
like splintered plywood

god was tangled in our sheets
smiling and tickled pink
thinking six days and eden
in each touch

and home
was skin on skin
an onion waiting to be peeled
down to the heart and

i believed
love meant joy and
you and complete and
love meant

me.

slivers abscessed drive away any kind
of comfort and when
i think of love (i cannot help myself)
it is still

you

and
you
and
