I Ghostwrote You

too many of the breaths we swallowed
went unaccounted in the humidity of that summer

you stretched yourself
higher than me

as I ghostwrote you
& you said thank you for your services

defensively
my curls were more generous than my lips

and i wished for that winter pottery seminar when my knuckles cracked open blood

I wanted stay
that dry

working for function
on something to hold ( something to keep )
