Condition of my probation: Letter to an old white house
The history—you and me—
it's carved in sandstone
I've taken to asking
Scheherazade myself
As though capital-T time cones
into a chisel of wind with which
to strike its flattest face
There was a time I thought
you had taken to the idea
of leaving me and there
is naught to blame for
that but myself
There is little evidence to believe
in history on loop until you've again
been consumed by blindness and
fear and utterly sick of yourself
The one person you're with
every waking second
Just thinking can—at ***** times—
be an act of self-negation
You told me you loved me and
I felt it in your breath
