your face breaks the bones inside me

pain fractures small like night blue

I imagine you could want me

surely 

if you knew I wanted you

maybe

I’d wait like shrapnel in battlefields

iron harvest my glint from the dirt

disciple of naivety I was sure

this would all be so easy 

but I teeter on absurdity

now that your touch is the lighting kissing the key

the sky is clear and cavernous

surrounding

across the bridge i try to reach and touch you

looking through your glass darkly

if this is love then 

love me
