Oh,
but I am going to regret you
in the morning
and the way
you made
my skin feel
too real for living.
I went at you
with hands too clean
for this world
and a heart
full of dirty days
and violated your wings
and coveted
the lump in your throat.
You
brought me something
eternal
as precious
as a new name
that I almost recognized

as hope....
