Kore
For K.I.T.K
You are naked all over the house.
You are making the bathroom blush.
You lie lazily in your bathtub like a blood red
pomegranate served in a white ceramic bowl.
When I arrive, you towel up, and we search
the tepid August night for the Mars star. You lean
near with the conviction of a saint, fingers and wrists
dancing like reeds as you move the hair from my face.
Such a vicious love, with a wide laugh, lazy as a root.
You insist on a stroll. There is a pumpkin and a rusted
tin of kerosene growing decrepit in the creek. A
green lit crucifix hung outside the local bar. There
are kittens crying for Egypt. Driving away
from you, I can see the tankers off the coast
walk over the sea, looking like giants swaying slow,
heavy arms dragging, murmuring to one another
like unsure elders, that they are lost…
And I miss you girl, I miss you already.

I saw a way out
I saw hope but no way out
what’s in the dark must come to light
our hearts trully shine so bright
my faith my guide
my pleaset dream that guides me through the night
I am Ashley…..
I shine so bright
more than any star that shines in the sky
I make a way
I see a away
I take it and I break free
and then I set off and now I am free
This is me.
