on and on ive got nothing to hide.

[bombamerica]

"addiction is a black word."

how do you write "valencia" back into your life?
that carelessness and freedom and fingertips and sun-
you write her into the palm of your hand,
you mark it into your skin.
silver and a slantery thing
that reflects her light.

and you remember,
oh you remember
her soothing,
exhilaration.

but you know
it's
wrong.
