abecedariusly yours

alone together
before you left
considering the potential
direction of syllables
even the vowels
followed your
gaze
hovering
intimately
just above my shoulder
knocking gently against the
lobe of my left ear

maybe this isn't a
natural end but an
opening
precision laced with a
question but this time no
real answer satisfies

substitutions of our bodies
take more than they give

underneath did you find a
velvet crushed heart?
would you understand it? an
x-ray won't tell
you what you're not feeling
zip me up, dear, before you go.
