REVELATION

YOUR HEART FELL OPEN,
SPILLING OUT
RED SHARDS OF PAST HURTS

UNTIL . . .

MY HANDS WERE COVERED WITH
THE SOFT SHIMMERING GLITTER
THAT MY MONOGAMOUS LOVE
HAD MADE OF THEM ALL.

I RUBBED THE CRIMSON FIRE DUST
INTO EVERY PART OF MY BODY
TO PROVE IT HAD BECOME INERT,
BENIGN
AND COULD NO LONGER CUT OR BLEED
A N Y O N E.

WHEN OUR BODIES
BLENDED MAGICALLY
WE LUMINESCED
BECAME ONE GOLDEN LIGHT
DEFEATING ALL SHARED MEMORIES
OF THOSE DARK PAINS
AND IN THOUGHT
FOREVER LOCKED OURSELVES
IN PASSION'S EROTIC EMBRACE
