Read It Aloud

3 days since you said those three words

Point-blank, you shot me down while I was formless,

1 thought in my head, bare and moonlit be-

4 you, the 

1 who won my heart.

5 times my hands rose from their graves, vitalized by sele-

9 in your breath, never

2 fall again, defying the laws of phy-

6. Only

5 times I've spoken to you, and those

3 words fell from you like bones,

5 times too soon, please deliber-

8! --but you don't listen, you and your sele-

9 tongue.
