Sincere moments slip in and out of our breath like shadows among the trees.
One moment I see you. The next you’ve changed your shape and I can barely see.
You say no one hears you like I can. You tell me truths that make you afraid of yourself. You try to hide but want out. I just see through all the doubts.
I force myself to live with the sun on my face. The rain imbibing in my skin. The moon light in my hair. You won’t find a girl like me just anywhere.
So intertwined we slip between one and two. Sometimes we seem to repulse each other. Sometimes we seem to be long lost lovers.
I will keep playing shadows with you until I decide if they are too much for my freshly sewn seams. I will play monsters and angels until one of us is thrown from heaven. We are Frankensteined together, it seems.
Love this, particularly the line, “I will play monsters and angels until one of us is thrown from heaven”

Mary Shelley’s Monster
What could be more alien . . .
Dead torso, limbs and such
Stitched together
like some beggar’s ragged coat
Re-animated by
That most mysterious force
running the belly of the sky
Electricity
Say the word
Electricity
It sizzles on your tongue
A dead man
Fabricated from dead parts
With a diseased brain
That was better off
in the glass jar
But she built him
(What, you thought it
was Dr. Frankenstein?)
Bit by bit on those cold
winter nights
Her tender hands
Elbow deep in gore
casting and molding her nightmare
Percy
