2 Reasons

There are two reasons why I love you,
one why I don't.

1. The things you say. You're a silver-tongued devil, such a testament talker.

2. The sight of you spills me, inside of myself. I overbalance, warmly.

And the other?

1. Someone killed us both, but we got up again, hipsway walkers--

One proud, one guilty.

  4. Again you do with 55 words what others can't do with 5500. Love is first of all about affinity, and attraction about the compulsion of opposites to know each other however briefly or incompletely, in that dance. Here you make the convoluted tangle straight and simple, boiled down to that one last phrase...seems to me your own cauldron is simmering along nicely.

  5. A good-looking talker will always triumph. The degree of influence makes the difference.

  8. Love it! This is sort of like Thelma and Louise and Walking Dead all rolled up in one, and yet completely not.

  9. Damn, Shay. I have so many things to say about this piece. But you know I'm all about brevity. So ... right on. I think her shirt adds a lot to the story.

  17. Clever little mystery at the end... but I can understand being overly charmed by a smooth talker. So late in commenting but 1st down time I've had all week. Hope the 12 days of Christmas are not too hectic :)
