4/4/16
They say that numbness is a body’s natural response to intense pain: nervous system shutdown, brain freeze, and, when I think of you in the earliest hours of the crowning morning, those satin shocks that cruise through my solar plexus, leaving empty streaks on the scorched surface like the first rain after a fire. Then there is nothing in me, and I am but an empty vessel with stars in it’s eyes, pouring out my liquid numbness over you.
