The weight of his words .. not paragraphs, not stories. Just a line here and there. A few letters holding hands becoming a cannon. This man could sink the ship that is me with a single poetic flick of his tongue.

He was the only thing that could stop me dead in my tracks. And he knew it.

Like a cannon ball through the hull just as I was trying to get away.

He was the unwilling anchor.
Yet somehow a beginning and not an end.

the blood
& the bones
