Poetical Musings - 4. Frigid
Sitting on the November balcony with
fireflies at our lips, we
listen to winter return.
Leaves shuffle like Tarot cards but
keep secrets to themselves.
I can feel your battered cheek
throbbing against my shoulder,
your fissured lip the only color
given to the night.
My hand comforts the
curve of your hip but there is
no warmth, only these embers
flickering and cold.
We are marionettes,
directed by a cruel general
to entwine ourselves together,
limbs to broken ribs and
lips to haunted eyes.
He has long since given up
on pulling us apart, but now
tightens our knots, hoping to
break the strings of our love.
