 from kisses on cheeks to holding hands in the dark where, beneath heavy blankets, electric palms make static turned lightning bolts to a meaningless dream of us. where the eyelashes ended and the teardrops started, to the corners of your mouth as you smiled. the innocent grin knowingly tearing my heart from my chest. pebbles skipped on ponds always break the surface tension and who was surprised when we sunk? from you to me to the chain around my throat to the bottom of the lake. i never did learn how to swim.
