Oh Darling
where were you when my cells
divided, bloody and bruised
a name in the paper
empty tissue box.
The melted ice cube, rings on the coffee table
we
you
I
never drank coffee.
Some varied version of a fingerprint
remnants I unearthed
with weighted eyelids, barely lifting
and a concave chest only time
could reassemble.
Gasping countless times seeing
a haircut
a coat sleeve
a gesture
I finally saw you
just once.
Cast my glance downwards
refused to look back;
just once
my resolve described in terms of
metal.
