Handcuffed
Handcuffed to the bed
legs spread
mystifying and complying
in every scene
sewn deep into a memory
seashelled into this heart
washing away
with the outgoing tide
echoing earnestly
where our worlds go to hide
light on light
dripping through the night
word swallowing word
another candle burns
I blow
heat flickers into a faded breath
bent over and spent
she comes back to life
