if __________

i imagine a rapid peeling of all the layers of my self

to expose fireworks and light, dancing around my insides.

i bet my face would make the happiest expression of satisfied faith.

tears could fall.

i would wrap my arms around ya and imagine a zip line from my mouth to yours,

a bouncy and speedy connect to safety.

my heart would jump so high out of my chest that when it landed i'd fall for you...again, you bastard.
