words by dominic riccitello

yours truly
spring words from my lips
heaven essence
a waveless bliss
the tide brings shells
pieces of our past
questions that leave you breathless
i float in the sea of your expectations
rapids like regulations
to swim with the fish
who nibble at your bits
i loved you with this
details of your chin
scars on your arms
shadows beneath your eyes
i gave you words when there was hell
love when there was infidelity
to tango, i said
how it began with yours truly
