He was a Monday
For the love I've never had
I held my breath
Silk, frozen whiskey.
Winter on my tongue
his voice poured over me
I melted.
Like snowflakes on fogged glass
Jagged,
delicate.
Ice crystals rippled in his eyes
A glimmering gold.
My blood freezing
holding this moment.
Lighting races beneath my ribs,
electric constellations
dance over my skin.
It was a pleasure to burn.
As if playing symphonies
in a swarm of fireflies.
Love is,
the conscious curse.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
