some encounters leave
some encounters leave
bruises – accidental or
on purpose matters
less than whether the imprint
leaves an emotional scar

two bruises into
two bruises into
the morning, counting only
the corners that i
remember – some days just shrink
a little, wrinkling our spaces

when we fight
when we fight,
the first
thing we notice
is that we run
suddenly out
of words – the letters get
ink-tied, the meaning
punctured. when
we fight, a second
shatters into
immeasurable
shards – time gets
disconnected,
but nothing
breaks. when we
fight, it is with
the looming
spaces between
us – no sharp
objects, no
corners, nothing to
bruise us later

with one small
with one small
gesture, my
purpose is
shelved, joy
bruised, like the sudden
emptiness flapping
at the end of
every storybook
