Five New Messages by David Greenspan

(read: every pore in my body has its mouth open screaming your name.)

To

(read: to.)

See

(read: fuck. touch. skin on skin. I always mix up emotions and body parts.)

You

(read: the version of you I hold so close in my mind. weeks and months past. your current version is a pale comparison to the glowing ember that will not go away.)
