Silk

	These strands of silk Were spun, Especially for you… And your meticulous, Eight legged host Will tuck you in tight, Before putting you to sleep: Come hither, come hither… -Jason		They tied between us a silken knot before we circled the holy fire seven times and became tied for life. Then we watched the years go by and the knot remained, tightly tied. Mine rose to my throat. Yours to the stomach. We could have undone. We could have pulled it apart. But we’d gotten a little too used To the silken part. -Nikita

Crescent

	The look on your face, devouring satisfaction or something else, what could I give you- and never have myself? Like that bar of chocolate with the missing bite. that you took out of me. -Jason		You’re seeing only a sliver forlorn and lonely in the night sky. The moon is still whole. It just doesn’t know it yet. -Nikita

Roof

	The sheet of blue plastic, In a corner, On the pathway, By the road. When it pours you’ll find limbs, toes, a tail- And patient eyes waiting knowing it would be over soon. -Jason		Pull away my blankets snatch my skies in one smooth move and throw me out roofless in the rain. For that is the only way I shall ever taste Again. Water thou art and to water  thou shalt forevermore return. -Nikita

Feet

	the marble floor tarmac, sand and snow- my feet have felt them all. they carry me through and every time i walk these feet leave a trail- look how far i've come. -Jason		they were washed in rose water wiped with the softest cloths and painted with the finest designs. the rites were performed correctly. and then the bride was told to step  into a dish of colored water and leave a bloody trail all over her new home. -Nikita

Red

	Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange (and conspicuous by its absence- staining teeth, bedsheets, flower buds and thread) Not the colour purple but... -Jason		she looked around for a sign. fairy lights twinkled from the sides of the street. and endless rows of tail lights stretched ahead of her in lines. both colored in the same vein. and still they said the most different things. she looked around desperately for a sign. -Nikita
