I imagine you wish you hadn't got any on you when we exchanged a smear or two there passing too closely by each other not to but then stopping long enough to acknowledge and realize the fit would be perfect it is always those look back laughter places when I watch your eyes read the brail of me like your fingers would if they could but your toy man is always too close so you just show me all of your wanting to and you realize my morality shirt is still lost in some tinman widows laundry basket still far enough away from between us that you only need to worry about your own skin and if it is combustable when ignited or if it would just be a little uncomfortable and loose fitting when all our sins were done and you only wore it to keep your heart inside lest you left it somewhere with a stranger and then went home with that empty again praying just to be stolen by your own dreams _______________ daark (forbidden) |

Such interesting perspectives, dear D.! Every line is a highlight in itself really. You pack incredible psychological reflections into your work.... pardon, masterwork. The perception of "sin" seems recurrent, but I think it surfaces because the "forbidden" seems to be so much more attractive ... Eve tells us! The reference to "your morality shirt" is a fantastic example of your poetic genius. I am sure many of those who claim to be morally impeccable have no idea what they are talking about. Love, Margherita |

Sounded to me to be a pretty good pickup line for a laundromat I enjoy all you post, but this one I set the stage. Hope you didn't mind. |
