I see You, God
when i'm outside...
Your lips
pressed softly...
Red hands and red eyes
Scars beneath new red lines...
White dress, white lace
tattered and worn...
I think somewhere in all this
subcutaneous earth...
Take a cloth
and slide it across my skin...
I struggle with the button on my jeans. Jacket...
Perhaps
the time I saw you...
The birds flock
in the brisk October sky...
...a maelstrom
curses...
Envelop me like a current
as the sunlight falls to pieces...
Just tell me
who you want me to be...
