1.

we wrote this story long ago,
our confusion did all the research
and came up with nothing except
another one way ticket and an
exceptionally horrible goodbye

you have come back to haunt me
with all that relieves me – your
happiness, because I have never
wanted anything more for you
than your happiness

and I have never needed to know
exactly what was occupying your
uncommon gaze on the other
side of the world, it felt better
to operate musings in a void

but I know because I asked and
you are brutally gracious with
all of that honesty, my god, you
are a perfect monster, a devil
of an angel who’s marked my
heady little heart for life

.

.

2.

admittance of heartbreak,
self pity and flagellation,

heart prods the outer layer
of skin from the inside

bruises presume to imagine
outcomes and make pitches

lungs tear through ribs,
belly distends, fingers shake

the bruises are right, in the
end, they are always right
