emerald ash borers
carved ash trees with your name
aligned with burnt ruby letters
bleeding resin and tears
newspaper boats
floating on the flooded kitchen floor
ghost sailors, exploring the plates and silverware
scattered across the room
fluffy feline
scratch marks across my skin
pruning every inch of my body
that had every part of you
egregious expectation
a solemn act of self harm
sinking glass inside my ruinous mind
an ephemeral moment, eternally looped
