smoking glass

wash me,
in the light of your smile
let its cascade bloody my cheeks


cleanse me,
with the love of your eyes,
smooth your gaze to hold my thighs


heal me,
with the touch of your lips,
shimmer a spectrum on my fingertips


hold me,
I'll turn to glass
and shatter in your arms


watch,
I don't get under your skin

Yes, I got your e-mail. But it didn't tell me what you were going into the hospital to have done. It also didn't tell me when your book is coming out or what it is called. I wish you all the best. Love, Cat
