What sticks is rarely what was meant:
a breath, a bruise, a stolen scent.
The heart decides what’s relevant,

a parable,
a cold that can’t relent.
My heart,

frost-skinned,

Your name pulls tides I can’t resist.
The weight is fact. I drown unkissed.

you tug ‘til it snaps or you tie it instead;
I choose a knot that Gordius bound,
