I have you here
inside this bright oven flower
your hands like little suns
heavier than my entire life
as I walk with you above the ice.
I am afraid to drop you
afraid to lose the widowed tears
that even now rain from your lips,
like ants scurrying beneath my feet,
making the face of the lake quiver.
I call out to God my tongue burning
like a feather under your precious suns.
There is only silence in return
and I think we should sink deep into the sea
so that it might carry us home
but you are just a child
and your warmth cries No.

this is the arc of a mistake.
we were like kids with a shotgun
blowing up worlds 'til there were none."

it is difficult for me to comment on your writing.
words so much more often than not only mess things up.
(the commenting words I mean.)
