settle



i saw the scars on your hands
relics of past disasters
a map of an untold tale
and
secrets hidden behind blue
veined
lids
open
revealing
the skylight of your misdemeanors
leave me
bewildered
your beauty
absolved
I look to the heights
the dust of pine
and scented cedar
filter down
settling on my shoulders.
