2. Jack Jumps Back

Jack jumped back
from the ledge we had met
when his lips had been humid
we walked in step
past the deer by the ocean
singing of sweet mead & selkies

& a touch on my forehead
meant a kiss
or it’s shadow

Jack jumped back
every word was a flower
he was heaping them deep
past my perfumed knees
were bruised by the blush
It was a rush
of blood
So I’d said walk it don’t run
but I’d weep for the loss
of what we’d begun

Jack jump back
through the bittersweet
nightshade
remember your dreams &
when you’re done
remember me

I swear on my life
No, I’ll stay still & quiet

velvet dusk brings you twilight
velvet dusk brings you twilight

remember me
singing sweet mead & selkies
remember me

Bruised by the blush it was
a rush of blood
Bruised by the blush it was
a rush of blood
Bruised by the blush it was
everything you ever wanted

Bruised by the blush it was
nothing much
