"It won't be for long, baby girl." A large, warm hand patted my head as I looked down at my shoes, trying to be as strong as he was being. But it was so hard. That hand had held mine, hugged me, cleared my tears, and always let me know: I was in safe hands.
"Look up at me so I can see those big browns okay?" I lifted my chin, tears starting to spill. My resolve was weakening as I looked up at a strong, sturdy face.
I wrapped my thin arms around him, clutching him close to me.
"Don't go, don't leave me, don't walk away," I chanted these hopeless words in my head. They spun around and around, blurring my vision with tears as the police men took the wrong man away.
He turned and looked back at me, and it took all I had to restrain myself from running through the gates after him. He yelled back at me words I would cherish and that would keep me going for the next two years.
"Nothing is forever darling."
Two years passed. I am ten years old now, and my dad is finally, finally coming to get me back from the foster system. He was right. Nothing is forever.

Literature
In the Syllable
...then there is a way in diswaiting.
Dust some yellow sand covers,
here uncover bare bedding.
...suffusing red planes, blushed dunes,
under incidentally quilted blanket
wet as arid curves, as sounds.
...in a persistent pavement,
in a solemn unsuited promise,
some written words erase
some letters drip and soak
unto a perfuse miracle,
a dislocated split,
a letting go of...
Literature
Cherished
She persuades him to lie down and be still for her
Naked in body only,
her eyes peer past the whole to the pieces.
She squeezes his breasts
Sweet, ripe little things
How they ache for her.
Curious hands become gentle fingers
Sliding up his throat
knuckles rasping against stubble
Skating across his forehead smoothing furrows.
Press gently on the delicate skin at the edges of his eyes
Follow down between the eyebrows
The straight line of his nose
Stroking soft lips that part in hungry expectancy.
She stretches his arms above his head, palms up.
Traces with spider legs down his shivering skin
Tickles the hair of his armpits
Nuzzling her
Literature
...
fine then, just leave me alone
let me rot in this "shithole" existence
you don't like it?
well it's none of your business
try to turn me around
put me on "the right path"?
it won't work
you haven't experienced such wrath
and then experienced the everlasting calm
but you'll never understand
all you know is the bad
all you remember is sad
i'm sorry you felt the need to cut me off
it's a real shame
and you weren't even involved
as if our friendship was a game
well i miss your friendship
you hurt me just as badly
as the one you criticize
still, i would renew our bond, gladly
if you weren't this way or that
stubborn, hard headed
just open you
