Soon there will
be more tattoos
on the planet
than people,
more ink on skin
than on paper.
We are already
reading each other
more than books
or newspapers.
I am thinking
of having
X
you are here
in blood red ink
inscribed
directly
over my heart.
I am thinking
if I indelibly
mark the spot,
& leave
a permanent
note
to myself,
I will not look
for you
somewhere else.
