track
My icy blue veins create a track for almost-lovers' finger tips to ski down slowly. Slipping, slipping. Sometimes, they find my fingertips or my belt loops or my zipper.
crisp
Crisp fall leaves drowned in vodka and cigarette smoke covering my body - a cocoon - preparing for some kind of metamorphosis.
conceal
There's a law about concealed weaponry - guns and knives and whatever. But people hid other weapons, too - people lie, people don't show their real feelings, people manipulate each other to get what they want. And it hurts just the same.
sparkling
Fireworks - they scare me. The Fourth of July - I always cried when I was a kid. And sometimes I still want to. When the fireworks pop and scream and fizz and sparkle and are beautiful - I can't take it. The noise, the lights - they hurt.
thorns
It's so funny - so, so funny. I always came home as a child with thorns in my hair and stuck to my clothing and in the palm of my finger, stinging with every single heart beat. All the beautiful things have thorns - I'm just especially good at finding them.
trunk
My dad keeps this big trunk of treasures in the attic. I have no idea what's in it, but I always loved to imagine - pictures of long-lost loves; pictures of grandma when she was just a young girl; boxes of plane tickets; receipts from perfect dates with Mom, and dates-gone-wrong with other women. Someday, I'll open that trunk and hopefully be surprised.
bridge
They said "don't burn any bridges" - but really, I just want to burn your fingerprints off my body, your sticky, vodka-scented breath off of my neck and your face out of my dreams. Is that too much to ask?
cactus
His fingernails pressed into my back - like miniature cacti in the desert - that's where they belongs, right? He hurts me, and I love him. And he hurts me, and I still love him.
carved
We carved our initials into trees when we were only nine years old. But really - you permanently carved your initials into my heart that day. I can still feel them - sitting and waiting with each beat of my heart - for the day you come back home.
deaf
My grandpa can't hear out of his left ear because it got blown out in combat, fighting for our freedom. So when I wish him "Merry Christmas" and tell him "I love you and I appreciate you" he usually doesn't hear it at all. But, I guess, at least I am free and can tell him these things, even if he does not hear them. I'm not sure if it was worth it.
