| they are made of
he took my hand
in his
and brought it
to his lips
and kissed it
delicately
and let his lips
brush the lilacs
that i have
for fingernails
for a moment longer.
“ don't you worry.
i am here. i will use
all my strength against
anybody who tries
to rip these petals
from your body. ”
i took his other
hand in mine
and kissed it
just as delicately
and looked into
his eyes
and then shielded mine
against the sunshine
of his love.
“ don't you worry.
i know you are here.
but before you judge
the flowers on my skin
try knocking my bones
to confirm what they
are capable of. ”
pure solid gold |
