Holiday Mashup

Santa Claus is really just karma with a red velvet suit; thus, Christmas is really just Halloween for Karma Claus. AND since all the presents (or coal) arrive on the 25th, then we might as well label it our annual Judgement Day. And it could be that Black Friday is just a testament to how thankful you are for the non-tangible things in your life.
Eh, just a theory. Merry Karmaweenmas!

the way a pen hovers

over a page before

an injection of blue-black,

you sit close,

grazing your knee with mine:

track marks of elation.

your mark,

my bruised lips.

your lips, pink,

drain this stale pain from my veins

into your lungs.

exhale.

your mark,

my grazed cheeks,

scrawled from scruffed bristles

to scrub away skin of dead sin.

your knee pulls away,

we sit side by side; while,

a huff of your breath

seals this sensation of

salvation
