My thumb bled over the envelope
as I had already ripped the seal,
and folded the edges
until your deathly initials
smeared over my defective skin,
a poison that would not kiss
away my every muffled dream.
I could feel the heat mounting
like my body was engaging itself
in a charred war,
leaving no word without a weapon.
O mute eye from afar
do not hesitate
for I am desperate.
