Outside a teenager shoots a teenager shoots a teenager.
The cops come to measure the street. . .
When he comes home late from his fight at the bar,
I hold a cold rag steady to his knuckles. I think I can love someone
who cares enough to bruise for me.
He touches his thumb to the corner of my mouth,
pulls back my lip to consider my teeth.

Anguish--I divorce thee.
I divorce thee, I divorce thee whole heart;
from the wingbone of a vulture,
I've made you a harp.

It's the first year
you've been dead longer
than you were ever
alive. What
would you say
about that?
I was 10--
I looked up suicide
in the dictionary--
I didn't know
anything. Without
you, we were
heavy, divided.
We knelt down
in the dirt
where the roots
were suspended
in water.

A man on the boat follows me all day, just one question then I'll leave you alone. There is nowhere a girl can go that a man like this won't have a question.

. . . when did I begin to choose this type of man who loves to "protect" me
from himself? Lately, I hold your name in my mouth
like a talisman because we are never afraid of the same things.
