The Divorce

I signed this providence with no reluctance

and I loved him.

His kisses had the same satisfaction of catching raindrops in my mouth,

Hold, my contract dissolved before my eyes,

I felt lumps on his skin that used to be my kisses.

I weakened him and pushed him back so many times.

This bird that flew so proudly was now a corpse and I, the murderer.

I dreamed of raindrops on my tongue, I got them back so many times.

Before the judge, we sat on opposing sides of the halls.

“What caused this end?” The judge questioned, I wondered.

I was floating on the floor. I needed his warmth,

He needed an end.

I signed this providence with only reluctance.
