just to hold you like i held you, pressed like a rose between my fingers pressed like a rose between my fingers or like stones i keep in pockets meant to weigh me underwater.
and you went to keep me underwater
to keep me underwater.

these scars will fade away but never disappear, my dear.
we'll raise our fists like lightning to rods to god and
if he strikes us down,
then he strikes us down.
but first, let him hear us speak:
we are like the legacy of thunderstorms we watched and swore in doorways,
"we will never be the same again."

i can feel you healing and i hate it
(like a harpist without hands you only bang the strings
you used to love to touch so much)

so stuck
still aching
pleading
and seething.

all i can do now is laugh at your disgust.
