Description I like you
underneath the name
and bones that poke
like questions.
You sit too close to me,
knees remembering the spring
and making me ask
why you never let
my skin make yours
a memory.
I will find you again,
hunched over poetry
your eyes holding court
over what blooms
beneath.

Favorite line:
"and making me ask
why you never let
my skin make yours

This makes the poem for me. Β So lovely.

Pretty darn excellent, Brendan.

Why must they always pay so much attention to their writing? I exist, dammit! When willΒ  I be seen above something else instead of always last in line by happenstance?
"Friends" and "Lovers", hmph.
Me? Bitter? Naaaaaah.
