Abbi

Broken Paper Clips

Some scream to mind, yearn

for those evergreen thistles to

cut dew drops in diamond

upon my paper sheet skin.

 

Hurt not the healthy, cleanse

rivers of gold with shadows

of trusted tip toes in tears

upon my paper sheet skin.

 

Whisper a mellow leaf, turn

watchful abyss into meditated

anger, hate, lust, a drowning

upon my paper sheet skin.

 

And when mine eyes seen

beauty in your hollowed 

promises, letting love bleed

upon my paper sheet skin,

does the blade sing shallow

enough to swim grace on 

your paper sheet skin.
