How to Get to Know Her

Survey tissue supplies. Offer
your sleeve for runny
(& breathing) expletives seeking asylum
in her deserted heart. Observe
runway and landing
for each aching tear. Soothe
facial scars 

with open-lipped kisses.
Tuck her in 

safe, with a grip
like you mean it. 
Don’t let her go
to her grave
without 

hearing
your secrets.
