a broken mirror is a bad omen

december, 2019

finally, i have been made clean and pure;
you leave me in bed and i am shining bright
cold and clear i am empty and transparent
the light moves through me slowly. i am made
dizzy by your closeness and your breath.
and you are not even there -

still i let it overwhelm me. how
delicate my desire - how fragile i become
when i want for you. your touch brings
me to shatter and i am in thousands of
desperate glittering pieces on the floor
we are being cut open along my edges -

i lie with you in midday
there are fractures when you get up and
i am begging you to stay. come back
now or leave me forever, because
in the time when we are apart i am
breaking open and aching from it.
