ENDING OF THINGS
The ending of things carries with itself
different tastes,
How sorrow stays in the tongue
is not a twin to joy,
and so when I heard the cacophonic
sound of your ring on the floor
of divorce— I walk into a body,
a body too dark to find me.
silence became a song
and in its depth, I dissolved,
liquor after liquor, the genesis
of heartbreak begins at the revelation.
In the game of love,
We know easily how to put a knife
across its rules,
The rainbow you are now
has only a color—black
the beginning of blank-ness,
in the heart,
in the body,
And where our beauty appears,
How do you come to this junction?
in the night I am your firefly,
I am the wind carrying you to places,
cities of hope and posterity,
I gave myself to pains
to listen to your laughter,
But when you return like the surf,
you bring to me broken things.
