Today I went looking through old messages for the moment it all began to break finger-tracing old words like scars on glass, hoping one might split open and finally confess I guess I am both the surgeon and the body on the table, steady hands - or are they shaking?- as I open myself just wide enough to bleed I keep searching for the cracks on our messages and our photos, as if spotting the moment we stopped smiling could stitch the wound shut, But the more I dissect, the more I bleed, into the margins of the autopsy report

Autopsy
Today I went looking through old messages for the moment it all began to break finger-tracing old words like scars on glass, hoping one might split open and finally confess I guess I am both the surgeon and the body on the table, steady hands - or are they shaking?- as I open myself just wide enough to bleed I keep searching for the cracks on our messages and our photos, as if spotting the moment we stopped smiling could stitch the wound shut, But the more I dissect, the more I bleed, into the margins of the autopsy report
