Immortal blue “Ghost Heart”
—-Asher & Hudson, a couple from my novel I am Bexley
You wrapped your nimble hands around
My heart from the very first moment
You gave me your sarcastic reply,
Telling me off when others told me what
I wanted to hear
When yours stopped beating
Blue eyes like a dull lake, dripping like a slow leak
I felt deep down
The dead guts I had all along
were brand new, chosen by a silver thread of
Eternity
Though I was human and you weren’t,
My guts felt less alive
How could you be braver than I?
My darling Asher, how could you be
Full of more
Dreamy, daring, hopeful
Truths?
Dead guts, still alive
I found you as my love and we burst into a deep
New chapter of lore
Frozen in time, you sliced open the old wounds
Feasting on our old stories,
Ready to help me create a new one.
My beautiful Jewish desert 🌸 flower
How can I be your mensch when I could not save you?
How can I feel you when you make me
Jolt in my veins like a burst of lightning
Just from a simple look?
You truly deserve one with lively guts,
My dear love,
Your voracious blue heart
Engulfed me… no ghost heart at all…
Your blood may be drained but you
Certainly don’t act like it.
I swam forever in its depths, we loved each other in a long black exhale we couldn’t feel
Entangled in our
Immortal
Blues.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

I almost feel as you've drawn from your relationship with the Raven for this between Asher & Hudson. Whether that's the case or not, this is powerfully evocative.
Though I was human and you weren’t, My guts felt less alive I loved these lines so much because of the irony! So happy to read about Asher and Hudson!
What a great concept. A poem about charactors in your book. Loved it.
