you
sold
small
amounts
of myself
because, i
deliberately
unloved, you

some say it’s a bird
some say it’s absurd
but when I asked you
a nest was growing
beneath your bed

Forgot
How still
Your mind is
This is not
A compliment
It’s rhetoric,
It chokes
The good parts of me
The eternities of a second
My whole life to solve
Pitiless searches for a body
To grow old with
Nameless sensations
Such a cruel thing
To miss the dead
With this immeasurable clarity
Like gravid drops of hope
Spinning over itself
Tirelessly, till we learn
How to love, again . .
