His Smoke
December 9, 2015
He dressed tender words to wounds to replenish crimson flesh.
He gently pressed her vivid tattoos.
Did he notice the scar stitched above her chest?
She felt like glass with shards up and down her edges.
His fingers turned bloody, colorful, and infected.
Couldn’t he see these imperfections?
He kissed her anyway he loved her when she broke.
She’ll never forget the way his words hung like smoke.
