Milk wishes and Forged love letters
by Angela StevensAnd when you awake
you'll deny that:
In my green veined rapture,
I had you like the milk
of a stem.
Captured
When we walked in crisp snow
and forged love letters with
lavender ink.
Spoke to one another in soft cryptic tongues
even if our momentary dream fades,
the glossy words will linger like a
relentless bell chime, a fixed precious metal.
The organ that memories are birthed from;
my heart is an internal scab
and never was it rich enough to claim the title of organ. 08/18/2011 Author's Note: Tomorrow, none of this will have happened.
