I undid the stitches this morning
(from the breastbone down
in a line where any other perfect
plastic girl would have even a
little cleavage for all the work she’s
ever done past the bottom of my
sternum to the top of my navel
where you kissed me every
night and reminded me how
goddamn beautiful i was)
I undid those stitches,
and I’d like to think that I’m better for it.
That I’m not wasting my time with a ghost.
I stabbed out my heart, and stabbed out my eyes,
took your memory with them.
(I cried to the angels last night.
My hands grazed their feet and
they told me it was not my time.
You always said I wasn’t one
to listen to commands.)
So this morning,
I locked up my lungs,
battered my ribcage
til it was long past
“bruised,”
bathed my fingers in
sanguine til a
frostbite consumed
them (my heart is
cold as ice, you
see), I severed
my wings as you
severed your noose,
and I shall now serve
you my heart on a plate.
(In other countries, it’s called “fine dining.”)
So let’s raise up the ranks
of those who have died in the name
the martyrs and saints of
papier-mâché.
March to the beats
of the “broken heart drum.”
Your life-support cord went out
in a haze, a dream.
Yes, some call it love.
Some call it a crime.
