Steve Klepetar

All Night I Watched You Burn

Your eyes turned turquoise, skin rippled
in scarlet waves,

but when dawn came,
spreading over the sky like silk and glass

I saw a body
made of trees and light,

a river shouting its name to the sea.

Steve Klepetar can name the nine Muses and the Seven Dwarfs, but he always chokes on the Seven Deadly Sins.
