Daily round overloaded with
acts of omission
Vibrant exchange faces drawn
shutter of emotion
Difficult squeeze into capsule
I receive from depths
of ill-remembered partner that
I couldn’t live without
In grief I preserve feelings drained
to the last drop
In bathroom mirror expressions
should indicate
where I retreated after mistakes
made again and again
I realized a multitude of gestures
that glow in the dark
like entire worlds hidden under
bruises left by fingers
grasping edges I find even in
thoughts that
don’t really care who I am
That's really powerful. Strong stuff. "Thoughts that/ don't really care who I am" is a wonderful line, wonderful ending. We've all been there.
