Angel with Defects

By metaphormachine

You must it unconditional

for ironing bring ...

 

Sweaty bedlinen

forever

wet through with perspiration

to the bottom

through my scar

a cross in

the mattress burned

through my heart

the sweetest delta

for me

from me so far

noshed on a strawberry

as this summer

dirty

the bedding tastes

still after her

I will never change the sheets ...

  • A former member wrote: Heh. Must have been quite the angel... A beautiful memory put in a cloth of a bed. Slightly romantic.
