Write your words on my ribs

I’d be lying if I said
the thought of it all
didn’t snake its way around
a little bit
longer
than most days
when the view was so ordinary
she
was lying on linen
with words on her ribs
places
I wanted to scrawl
and fall into
were not mine.

There were bones
bits
stones to throw
pips to lick
and eyes like blue almonds
painted by some hand that felt the love real good
when she was made.

And I were another
distant
close
friendly old ghost
destined to be a friend
united by words
hurts
heart beats
and thoughts of yesterday.

This time around; that’s how it was.
