3.

by Karen Michelle

We kept these moments
between sheets of glass -
one hundred crystalline threads
of archived emotion; together,
we awaited the crash
of the hammer as time
marched on, a reminder
of awakening.

Once, these tears fell in synchronicity
and eyes touched an identical sky;
an overhanging sea of sequins
glittering millenia away in the
stage-lights of the unknown.

Tonight, on the edge of reason,
I etch your name into hidden
corners of my skin, holding
onto the sting of love's
frozen embrace.
