More from ~RhapsodyinAlto

Dear Eliot“That is not what I meant at all…”

Repetition of my past mistakes etch lovingly at my skin.
Minute lines betray my youth and suddenly at age 19
I feel old.
No longer vivid and vital, but loose and melancholy,
My limbs dragging and my bones popping with every stretch.
Yes, I have my small imperfections:
The hated soft brown hair that caresses my arms
(I used to mow at it with scissors when I was a child),
The freckled shoulders and sunburned nose that
Delight in marring your ideals.
But I will laugh at you as you wheeze up the stairs –
The pains you suffer to cover your silly deficiencies
Only exaggerates yo
StorytellingIn shadows and mist they wait,
eyes glowing ravenous; the
teethandclaws that chased little Red,
consumed her bit by bite.

Now, in the margins of our silver-littered streets
we singshape myths all our own
of candied lips and darkened roads –
I am waiting to devour you.
      (You taste like open sky and orange peels,
      like smoke, sea-saturated and cinnamon strained)

Light is muted here while sound scatters,
conversations scraped between quartz and kelp
with never a pause for me to reply.
You, you just laugh, peeling
the skin from my face
watching it harden like papier-mâché
before discarding yet anoth
