When I force frozen
meat apart before
it’s had time to thaw
it injures and tears
where the ice clings
too tightly.
The meat no longer
whole, scatters into
broken bones and
bleeding fragments.
Your absence undoes
me like this not all at
once, but with a quiet
rip, where we once
held each other too
close to separate
without breaking.
