Mid Rivers Review 2013

Page 21

Parts of Speech Your lips are a permanent marker. Inscribing your love for me over every inch of my body. They have written your name on my collar bones. Covered my hands in your fantasies. Left adjectives of affection on my stomach and thighs, and turned my back into a portrait of your lungs. Promising to spend every breath you have left with me. You laid out our somedays, and sealed them with a kiss.
