Burn
Jenny Gillespie

     

If you're here to hurt me, then the motive is
secondary to the body beside me-

Any weather being a hunt
and a sermon.
One's weather mostly a breath
From an unknown mouth.

One more night looking
at the burn on your back.
Chaotic, clearing to touch.

It says more than you ever will.
