... cuts 'n' kisses ...
After the cut, the kiss they say
To me, you're that kiss -
The kiss that makes everything better,
The kiss that makes life worth living again,
The kiss that brings the smile back to my eyes,
The kiss that makes me happy in spite of everything.
For all this and much more
You will always have a special place in my heart –
Deep inside hidden from the world,
A treasured memory.

After the kiss, the cut they withhold
To me, you're that cut -
Deeper, more painful, agonizing, unwilling to heal,
Always there - worse than ever

But despite all, I wish you'd find your kiss -
And who knows, maybe...one
Your tongue hits your teeth like a drum
in time with your heart,
in time with mine.
Your words trip fast like fists
beating out of your skull
our hurt as plain as headstones
that we stake deep between the ribs of our earth.
We are tiny satellites
spinning, hidden in this sky.
Broadcasting pain in the vast dark
unfolding our truth in a battlecry that
rips us red and open.
Supernova stars exploding blood
eons and light years apart that will echo and echo.
We will be picked up and felt
for generations down.
I hold space for you and you for me.
We see each other and say
we are enough and we always will be.
I hear you and I love you
the sham
