there’s another version
there’s another version
of us, a catch and
release, one in which
we are both
experts, armed
only with barbless
hooks. maybe we pose
for a photograph,
but we leave
no other
remnants –
no stress nor injuries –
with eighty-seven percent
chance of survival

and meanings

doing laundry, we

to the woman you never
to the woman you never

forced to despair
in two selves: the
younger one who lost
you back then, the older
one who holds
fistfuls of empty
memories

the cliché of
faded photographs
and pretended
that the clear
sheath could protect
us from our most
recent shedding, that
it would be a strong
enough barrier to
grief. for an entire
morning, we could
not even finish
the first of
eight solid albums, our
pickup suddenly
so worn

impromptu shots away from
