In this year of one next to another
We all chose together
But before we filled our bellies with lobster and banana tempura
I said ‘done’ in sudden silence and darkness
I was finished before the image of God, too.
I threw it all away below peels not quite good enough
Not even for worms
Again, I should have seen this coming
What the hell
I saw this coming from the beginning
But now it’s done
Done
I quit
I can’t breathe
It’s just foolish
I’ve been here before
Just not with mist and breath
My heart tightens in my chest
I could have hid longer
She deserves better
The three do too
May I sing
Again
Love
In this eleventh year,
On this night we all shared?
