Dear V
I covered your heart in salt so it wouldn't freeze and your body in honey so it wouldn't bleed. I tried to dance under the dust like you taught me, I climbed the tallest trees to dream better dreams for you, I tossed the gold and silk into the sullied river to grovel at the dirt you stood on. And in the end, though I tried so desperately, I couldn't untie the knot without cutting the cord.
