Wonder Woman

-- for y.k.  

I see you

holding your heart

like cracked pebbles

clenched.        Tightly.

5 salt sweaty fingers gone

white from pressure.

I see you

stepped just

past your breaking

point.

I see.        You’ve been bruised.

Appear purple in full

moonlight             skin

tender to my touch.

I see you

sensitive.

Might explode. Now.

Might burst. Might

bleed on

to yourself.

I see you

miss me as your mission.

By choice. Maneuvering a     long   way

away           again

with all your jagged edges.

Baby I’ve been cut before.

By you I am

not made nervous.
