Mine
You are my mirror, my
Catalyst
My eyes flicker to the light of a burning wish
My mage, my love locket sat to my breast
Fragment of bone
kept in a seed, embalmed
And reversed, born again - feet first
It's as if the clay mold I made of you
Was only element of a dream
When I begin to lose, I remember you have depth where they did not
I curl up inside it, falling-
I fall sad the way you fall ill,
The way others fall asleep
Living is pain, knitting wounds and mending scars
Telling tales and breaking bread
Your face glistens with a million teeth shattering in his reflection
He makes me want to
breathe again
