Every night
I save you
in a hundred
different ways.
I say the
right thing;
I turn a
different corner;
I catch you.
Every night,
I bring past
to present and
relive that
last day,
only different.
I take the
gun from your
hand; I answer
the phone.
I listen,
just listen.
Every night
I am there
instead of here.
I stop
it from
happening.
Every night,
in most
precious
imagination,
I become
your champion.

I fold into you
woven art
intensity of color
reflecting red flames in eyes
memory and scent
all that has passed
disguised in fabric
texture of wool
(like callused fingertips)
bristles skin
before offering softness
my bare arms soak you in
absorbing blanket to bone
I can feel
you under my skin
be my comfort
and I will be yours
Katrina Kaye
a scattering of imperfections
across your perfect desert sunset
too many stray clouds
strange ideas
mixed colors
absorbing
melting
fading
waiting for you
on that line
where sky meets ground
world falls flat
water pours into space
we hold hands
and think about jumping
