i just sat there
words lodged in my throat
eyes burning with tears that
i wasn't going to let escape
while you broke
into pieces i couldn't fix.
april 2nd
you gave me stained fingertips
the same colour as your belly.
i still dont know if its from
your poorly rolled mentol's
or if its the colour of
the deepest regret
i've ever felt.
april 3rd.
i tried to write this poetically.
with oceans and stars
and metaphors
so large i lose
connection.
but i can't

april 4th.
you're body was
black and blue
but oh god
there was colour.
there was colour.
and colour means life.
right?
even if its clinging on
by its

like gravity grew stronger.
My chest is warm and my throat,
my throat is thick.
Merlot swirls, slips-
this glass is not big enough for my
Robert Mondavi dreams of
the fine life art forms that
form in my J. Lohr sleep.
Cabernet kisses on wine-tinted
