Things you come to know
by Vikki Owens..you come to know
the ultimate lonliness of
angry silence between lovers..
..how the residue of screams
coat the throat
when you wake panicked from your dreams...
..the utter joy
at making him laugh,
like you've inserted a key
and unlocked his face...
..the terror of fury
like you've inserted a key
and snapped it off in the lock...
..the shape of his body
in candlelight, how it gleams
and rocks against you...
...the shape of the empty
space in your heart
when he turns his back on you...
