Send
by Alison Wells
Send me a secret story in a song just for me
Send me a grain of dust
Send me a heartbeat flipped, squeezed with lemon juice, soaked with sugar
Send me the sharp stars
Send me the winks in the water
Send me
Send me songs, photographs, breaths, petals, kisses, muddy puddles
Send send
Send send me the satellites and the lights of Japan and the sizzle of electric eels
Send send send
Send me the weave and the weft, the ragged starts and endings
Send
I like when it escalates to satellites and Japan and the sizzle of electric eels. Sweet.
Thanks Gloria!
I love this.
Thanks so much Misti :-)
It's lovely to read things I feel related to - a feeling I've known but never could express so eloquently. Each word is perfect in its place. Beautiful.
