Poem of the Day for 06/26/26 True Romance by Aaron Blair There is nothing as familiar to me as the space between the waist of your jeans and the skin stretched taught across the muscles below your stomach, the way your flesh calls to my hands. My palms are rougher now than when I first touched you. I'm more scarred, but less scared. A thousand tiny almost deaths have made me braver, but more than that, I know that you would kill and die for me, no hesitation, and that's the blood that binds us, sticky on your fingers and salty in my mouth. 09/19/2012 Visit Aaron Blair's Library True Romance Copyright © 2026
