March 23, 2010

We sat next to the storm drain
And counted the gun wrappers.

Me in papayawhip lipstick
Him glamorous, yet subtle.

How many harbours must a runaway touch
Before she is a traveler?


He held my hand and traced the lines of my palm--
A chiromancy romance,

A buzz.
High Pressure.

And all the while he knows my future--
This is how it begins.
