Giddy as Gilligan
with your every step
you walk on
everyone I have
loved like they
were nothing
but rose petals
on the floor
of a hotel suite
with each thing
you say
you speak
over the
hurtful words
repeating
inside me
like a movie
showing in
an empty
theatre
and with
each peck
on my lips
you give
the big
kiss off
to the
cast of
castaways
who have
been stranded
on my Island
goodbye
you Gingers
and Mary Anns
I have been
rescued
by a face
pretty enough
to sail a thousand
ships
