Part 1 | The Ghosts of Love
Dearest Mess Beside Me Fallen
Dearest mess beside me fallen, tangled hair, half-open mouth, shuttered eye, to clean you up would be a sin no angel'd understand, unless they'd also fallen thus. How could they know the symmetry of human lines broken? Tossed down we've been but not cast out. Shall we break some more? Smash the glasses. Spill the wine whose fruit fell from the garden here. Cut and drip, slice open the lines, peel back the skin, reveal it whole. Dew is beading on the vines, dawn is rising there. Dearest mess upon me rising, tangled hair, half-open mouth, shuttered eye, to clean me up would be a sin no angel'd understand unless they'd also risen thus.
