Before Leaving
Before Leaving
before you
as though any of it mattered
we genuinely love
the treacherous descent in the dark
they're only scratches on a page
an outlandish
immaterial
hymn
wide-eyed wonder at her own pain
blaming herself
before god
only she wept
clambering down from the bed
repeating the same phrase over and over
I'm sorry
