Push me away, pretend you don't want it. We both know you crave the sting of my bite, darling.

Give me some leeway, hit the head, learning the ropes, the cat is out of the bag, get underway, the cut of your jib, true colors, hand over fist

[clove-pinks]

under the weather, in the doldrums, long shot, toe the line, groggy, aloof, overhaul, mainstay, pooped, keel over, in the offing, give a wide berth, footloose, flying colors, press into service, shake a leg

Chock-a-block. Scuttlebutt. By and large. Above board. Slush fund. Batten down the hatches. Shot across the bow. At loggerheads. Squared away. Dead reckoning. Down in the doldrums. Touch and go. Fathom/plumb. Leading light. Overwhelm, overreach. Skyscraper (originally a sail at the very tip top of a mast!). The bitter end.

I am vast, I contain multitudes. I can both see myself in this photo but also wonder at who this person is. I see the passing time written in new shadows on this face, indelible and insistent. I like this face, whoever it is. I'm glad it is mine.

He is cold but don't pity him. Last time I let him in he tormented my cats, tangled our hair while we slept, and stole all the booze.
