jaw open
in disbelief
in dis
jointedness.
and I don't fancy
piecing myself coherent.
it's pointless at this juncture;
she's punctured
logic
and our substance
has fizzled out.
but if I could embrace the discomfort,
drown in her epidemic,
then all would be mine.
the mutual disease in our rhymes
would intertwine in a helix
where one carries the echo
of the other
and so forth.
and so forth we press,
we press down the page
and dogear the moment
our compositions
forever changed.
