Elegant Shivers
She curses salvation
I know
send me home
Give me your devouring donations
I have aches, so I've heard
I try to crawl
I saw dying stars
on a rheostat
I’ll be holding my lungs in a deep embrace
Let down with bandaged whispers
Come take these elegant shivers
and detach their gentle key.
-JP 2011
