Erasure

I’m deleting you in fragments Digits before pictures Like pulling teeth in the wrong order The apps still think we’re married Offering me sales on rings A carousel of anniversaries I don’t want tickets for Every playlist is wired with shrapnel A hook catches my ribs The bridge splits open under me Even silence feels like background music I forgot to turn off Your name surfaces in autofill A half-built ghost the keyboard won’t let rot Loss written out for me before I even breathe it I clear the cache But the body has no settings menu Skin remembers fingerprints Shoulders still flinch at phantom weight The servers keep everything So do I Unopened folders Permissions denied A hard drive buzzing at night With what it refuses to erase
