gimme an x

extenuating circumstances brought me to you.
               my density with the letters crossed.
                     crossed like those who doubled you online.
                        crossed like thorns in the forehead.
                         crossed like a variable exponent.
                                crossed like the kisses at the bottoms of your letters.
                                      crossed like the initial at the bottom of your letters.

                      crossed like an x.
