Do you write of me as I write of you? Purple prose and yellow-throated? Sun settles on the tilting horizon and swallows my home in remorse. There is nothing to swallow though, it's not but a motion, a swift and fleeting motion that bleeds contradictions and poetic saps from edges torn raw. I become a wounded blossom, petals folding irrevocably when your warm glow inevitably shifts from my hemisphere. You are too beautiful and too good to be hidden; I know, I am selfish with your minutes; I only worry that the world will carve you into a woman not even you are familiar with.
