Love Story

Plaid cuffs snuggle your wrists like the smoke

of bacon fat on pine; the true music of white light

beats through blinds, kittens, and milk. Your

pale hand and painted fingernails as you knelt into

the foam—how deep then were the curls on your

head? Shower your face. I'm being kidnapped in

the next room. Indigo flowers on the carpet in the

hall, blood on my forehead and eyelashes.
