Your hand against the small of my back
sends my body into shivers,
like an early morning fog on the water
you float above my skin,
barely touching,
but there's tension in the air,
waiting for the sun to break,
to spill a fresh, golden milk
upon our aching joints,
upon your tender salmon lips,
ripe for the plucking,
maybe I'll carve coyotes into your calves,
paint rabbits on the underside of your tongue,
and sketch raccoon tails on your forearms,
then, finally, I will write empty, hollow words against
the pulsing walls of your chalkboard heart.
Sometimes I think it would be easier to be able to erase a person out of my life, but then I think what I really mean is that I want to be able to erase the effects someone has on me. I am slowly getting better at this.

This....this is the definition of beauty. This is honesty, this is love, this is wonder, this is pain, this is....the most wonderful thing I'm sure that I have ever read in my fifteen years. I cannot stress how thankful I am that you've written this, and posted it for me to find today.
