The Law Of Enchantment MAG
December 15, 2014
Lights dot your jaw
And we become forbidden like our perfumed bodies.
Matte and soft and slick in sugar crystals,
The law of enchantment lashes me in this electric rain,
Beating down upon our crowns.
Under its authority I realize that I cannot watch hair fall across your cheeks and catch on your lip.
I cannot watch words pour through your teeth,
And I cannot watch your eyes go blue and round like sea glass,
Without breaking up
Into limbs
And vital organs
And piles of silky, stringy flesh
All enchanted by you.
