You trill past me with ruffled skirts  
(no doubt they’re moth-tattered by now)
and downy feathers tied to your shoes for wings.

You’re like an hourglass with one grain too many.
Always pushing for more,
but getting less than you bargained for.

My thoughts about you
range from eclectic to trashy
but they are never dull.

You’re a puppet master and
your fingers are dangling in midair
by the laces of your running shoes.

You pull me into your breath
with fiery fingertips and frigid palms.
I have no escape plan.
A just because it came to me (and becuase I can't write prose at the moment)...sort of thing. <3
