what didn't fade with time
faded from distance
small
features in the rear-view
i looked at your house
waving and smiling
your door already closed
funny this blood connection
our chemical crush, our holy ghosts,
atoms, particles, cells, bones
blood
prayer
funny how you say you love him
when you don't
im sorry about
our fury
of mistakes
i clench my teeth at night
ball my fingers into fists
i read ancient scriptures
searching for the answers
in fables and parables, in allegories
the language of women and children
it's the missing you
part - i hadn't counted on
the variable - the ghost
i figured in for additions and subtractions
the lovers and passing of the moon
the placement of diamond rings
time + distance + blood type
the subset of X
add it up
nothing between us
has ever
made
sense
