as recently as this morning

the oven I always thought I loved

no I did not date him though it's possible I dreamed about it

he had phrases like grubby fingers

he used my emotional anchor

pale pellets of songs over and over and over and over and over playing their hail into my hair

the bergamot shampoo either smells really good or is poison or both

but his new job could bring him redemption

I cannot answer any of your questions I can't even hold a piece of conversation

no starchy vegetables at all to back you up

no cooking just blank rice and "sir" and the possibility always of a cold pending the morning

vulnerable to mildew but claiming not to be

why could I never tell you that I was too sick to fuck

my hands shake with my throat

I have the cut up images we made together cut even further

none of you made me feel whole

not so much art as its application
