I have his name on me
Like I'm his underpants at camp
so I won't get lost
I typed that being funny
but
that sort of is why he had me write his name on me
so I wouldn't get lost
it's been a tough week
and getting lost is a possibility
I've been poking at him for days
asking him for his control
asking him for darkness
to bring his worst
but what I need
is a lamp post
so I don't get lost
so I stay rooted
so I know where I belong
he knows what I need.
he knows what I need.
Interesting and nice idea --- like having a tortoise of a crucifix. May I ask:
ReplyDelete- is it his actual name (eg Dougal McTavish or whatever) or is it your own name for him?
- is it actually written on your skin? If so where?

Tortoise!? This Danny phone.
ReplyDeleteI meant tattoo.
I like the idea of being marked as his so as not to get lost.. not that you'd really be lost.. I'm sure he'd find you immediately.
ReplyDeleteO, I like this a lot. I think I know just how you feel.
ReplyDeleteIt's the "belongs to" part that I love most, I think. My "collar of consideration" is the mark of my "belonging to" and I love it.
You put it so well.

@PL -- OMG -- how much do I love the correction! -- I had no idea what you were talking about!
ReplyDeleteIt is his first name only -- written with a sharpie -- the same sharpie I often sign paintings with. Written right above the pubic hairline
(PL -- what's a "danny phone"?
@Nancy - I do too -- it struck me while I was writing and I love the idea --
@Aisha -- Yes -- I know where I belong-- but it's good to see it there

It's a HTC Sensation with over-enthusiastic predictive text. I hate it. I've ordered another iPhone.
