i told myself to use the word 'lovely'
more often.
maybe if i spoke of beauty enough, i would become it.
i decided to smoke cigarettes.
convinced that maybe my lips
would draw you in faster
than they drew in smoke
i stopped eating meat for two months straight.
tofu is bland and
left us with a shaky aftertaste.
the last time we spoke you'd forgotten my faux loveliness
without a trace, you exhaled my breath amongst your skin
you cooked me steak for dinner.
