raze
i
am
holding
aluminum
foil
in
one
hand
and
nothing
in
the
other
,
a
body
falling
backwards
into
the
soft
arms
of
wonder
with
all
the
grace
of
an
unpinned
grenade
.
a
broken
circle
shapes
itself
into
scythes.
a
kiss
from
each
curved
blade
.
whisper
soft
and
hard
as
quartz.
hard
as
unblinking
eyes
that
leave
nothing
uncovered
and
nothing
untouched.
you
only
hear
what
i
have
to
say
when
you're
touching
my
face
.
so
press
your
hand
against
that
small
city
and
listen
as
long
as
you
live
there
.
