didn't say stay.
by Meghan Helmichthis pulls my stomach in your lap,
imagining flight, wings straight
as your forehead. frowns for me.
there are goodbyes, and i am washed ill --
you wipe my face with your smile.
i am going to pull your fingers across states.
i will curl, round myself in
new sheets. old familiar smells
that you don't hang from anymore. 03/12/2007 Author's Note: unfinished, but worked on this today. it might be finished, i don't know yet. title in progress.
