Like a razor tears a wrist,
But I'll be safe in bed with you
Where every cut is like a kiss.
The broken dish that holds your ring
Neglected on the bedside stand
Curls its jagged edges
Like a fist around an empty hand.
Night by night, when quiet comes
I trace the constellations
Of your scars across the empty space
Of flesh in which they're hung.
