Cellophane

When I 
Think about 
Loving you 
I think 
About reaching 
For my 
Bible and
Shaking it

My hand hurts
From writing 
My love 
In the 
Bindings of 
Bibles
And Moleskins

I am transparent.
As transparent
As the 
Warmth love
Brings, as
Transparent as 
A newborn
Thrown through
Cellophane

Our world 
Is transparent,
A transparent 
Rattle, a 
Rattle that 
I reach 
For and 
Shake.
