***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Under occlusive skies better left unnamed
|
||
|
|
I toss and turn in bed, wracked with the pain
|
||
|
|
of reminder that elsewhere in the state
|
||
|
|
someone still towards me holds illest will,
|
||
|
|
thinks less of their memory of me
|
||
|
|
than perfection's divinity.
|
||
|
|
I try
|
||
|
|
to remind
|
||
|
|
myself less as a salve
|
||
|
|
than a desperate attempt to keep myself calm:
|
||
|
|
the body takes seven years to recycle its cells,
|
||
|
|
meaning no part of me experienced their hell
|
||
|
|
and for what I did am no longer responsible;
|
||
|
|
when I left, I made the cleanest break possible,
|
||
|
|
and if they haven't changed that yet I doubt they ever will.
