Abigail

Here it is,
The naked definition;
A life-time stripped down
and scratched in the writer's blue blood.

Can the essence of you
be broken upon the lips?
And words and words and words
erode what we once were.
Phosphorescent
and paper thin.

Let's run away to Amsterdam
or further still, Berlin,
Cairo, Benghazi,
Then you can be my God and I can be
your friend (or lover, if you'd rather - God
knows I'm the romantic sort)
and our tapestry can unravel
and we can leap from the cliff tops
and we can de-age to infancy
and finally close our eyes,
Certain
as we were at birth.
