the way a boy with tattoos can linger…

so slow down your forearm over every inch of your tattoos

the way a boy with tattoos can linger…

the way i’d
trace my fingers
so slow
down your forearm
over every inch of
your tattoos,
just taking in your skin,
letting it tell me all
your stories,
even the ones you
couldn’t say…
i’m terrified i’ll always
miss that.

the way the memory of their tattoos can linger…

so slow down your forearm over every inch of your tattoos

the way i’d
trace my fingers
so slow
down your forearm
over every inch of
your tattoos,
just taking in your skin,
letting it tell me all
your stories,
even the ones you
couldn’t say…
i’m terrified i’ll always
