Favorite Quote:
“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”


--My glacial fingers
were the colour
of your
truth and

 

irrevocable chasm
tattoed between
the breaking lines

 

of my breathing surface
across my chest.

 

I bleed
cadmium that scorches
the vessels on these ombre
wrists
for the malevolent
shriek inside me

 

longing for cobalt drops
of heaven to
pierce through
the poignant layer
of my tattered skins
