me: "There's nothing to be frightened of right now," he assured her, hugging her closer.
not me: "..but they're comming.. it's getting closer.."
me: "Who is?"
not me: "The dark ones.."
me: "Hmn. Tell me about them."
not me: "They're comming.."
me: D'oh. Alex grumbled silently to himself. Who and what were coming. "I'll keep you safe."

I remember the slick, sugar coated light;
nuzzling your face gently.
Telling me how we fell in love--
every tired detail--
like lust is something solid. I'm
lying on my arm, and it is numb:
it is the hand I lift to stroke your cheek,
grazing your skin without knowledge.
Entire lifetimes you've waited, and
necromanced a love for me; even as you're
crawling on the cooling
entrails of the body I inhabited.
