you were fascinated by the idea of wedges

the clear cut

between

and

what was

what is

what the wedge consisted of

what it felt like

(its sharpness was never in question)

its ability to create

dichotomies. my friend said:

i think it will be good that you go away

for a bit

and yes, the air tastes different here, yes

the skies do look different here but

increasingly i see only empty

morning skies so close to death, how

my body looks empty without

the bruises you planted on it so tenderly.

i was only ever

a set of broken pieces

(36)
