11/27/11

by Meghan Helmich

I've been bracing myself for the blow
from your forgiving hands,
dreaming of the bruises you will leave and
the constellations I will make of them
with only the finest of felt-tipped pens
so that you can look back from your perch
to find Andromeda is still purple and swollen.

I sure hope this isn't based on true events. Nonetheless, well written.
