My bruises scarred his thin skin.

My bruises scarred his thin skin.
My snowy Polish thighs have better memories than I
For heavy bags carried, doorways misjudged.
I remember him in bathrooms,
After I move boxes.
My rotten fruit pocks
His keyholes to the lips and teeth of imaginary men.
He sewed flowers
From brown petals fallen on my body.
