Untying<br />
<strong>By</strong> Jaclyn Porfi lio<br />
He hugs me taut,<br />
wraps my pinky fi nger<br />
to swear he’ll let me crumble<br />
one misstep at a time<br />
into the crown molding.<br />
He kisses me pale,<br />
frays my sleeve<br />
to promise he’ll keep me whole<br />
each day he braids me<br />
into the threads.<br />
He lets the oil drip into the basin<br />
he’ll never fi ll with water<br />
or stain. He sees the glass<br />
ripple my face<br />
from across the porch.<br />
He cries himself<br />
to war. I can<br />
hum goodbye,<br />
