when we wrapped ourselves
in joyless sheets, i
searched for that purported
magic, the halo those
fucking apologists
whinny about in their
partner-appreciation manuals
it kept at bay
your face a cliff
and it occurred to me
you were an empty wall
eggshell pale
i almost left a good tip
but couldn’t see my reflection
in your stain-traveled eyes
