Of … and ...

I slice into the stem with my thumbnail,

peeling it in one long ribbon.

When it’s over we look at each other

and you say

you will always forgive me

as its skin bursts between your teeth.

Atlas

The creases in the corners of his smile, the gold flecks in his eyes. His hand in mine, all the weight of the world off my shoulders and I am Atlas at a loss. A loss for words, a loss for rationale or explanation. Alas, Atlas allows the world to slip off her shoulders but we carry on in the moonlight, more magic than memory. And as the world spins off into oblivion I am left with no spells or aces, no cauldrons or cults, no more of Zeus's fire, but magic nonetheless.
