the eyepatch and the handcuffs his hands have promisedthe eyepatch and the handcuffs by *Satah
to wipe off every fingerprint
your last lover left on you
he has sworn he will
wear gloves, when he needs to,
and pay attention to the instructions on the boxes
"this side up"
and "fragile"
and you have sworn
you will try to let him
i hear your bodies whispering these things to each ot
spring brings floods yesterday i cried down hospital hallwaysspring brings floods by *Satah
with guitar calluses digging into cheeks
and life lines pressed to lips
as they twisted themselves around
agonised sounds
and apologies barely choked out
to nurses ran full-on into
today i cried on the sidewalk
in the dancing shadow of a budding tree
with spring rain
leaking through the cracks in my shoes
because as i raised my hand to block the sun from my eyes
a monarch butterfly
breezed down from a branch
to land on my finger,
all citrus and air and beauty,
and all i wanted to do
was crush it
blue baby blues i.blue baby blues by *Satah
peacock feathers of smoke
brush over my calves
the plumage working its way
through the stockings & skin
to nestle into the muscle
where it will root like an acorn
and grow into an oaken pair of wings
to lift my feet from hardwood floors
so i can dance
with my knuckles brushing against the ceiling fan
ii.
fundamental frequency oh, loverfundamental frequency by *Satah
-- and i am sorry,
as ever,
for calling you that--
your voice still rings
unlike any other
through any amount of wall
or space
its cadence and tone
turning my head
as if you were screaming my name
over and over
but if anything is
over
it's our days
of name-screaming
so with all apologies
for my terms of endearment,
i beg you, my love,
to please be careful
where you speak
because every small vibration
of your throat
is tectonic plates shifting
under my feet
