scald me
pinking
embarrassed
heating
beneath
my skin

Ancestral Gossip
Gravitate.
Create.
Make believe,
share what you’ve made.
-Grandmother Oxblood
head asleep
slipping into dream
wielding a boat
with wheels and wings
stretched taffy
candy pink
sweet but strong
sticky kiss
silver sheets
rain falls
from my eyes
scattering diamonds
a star fell into my hand
and I swallowed him
into my belly
sharply sweet
glowing
red nights
grown cold inside
limerence dies
so quietly
motion unwinds
i fall inside
outside
mind
arrested
in his kiss
outrun
the drop comes
shouting memory
splint me
broken
