Poems
Nov 2018
a thousand hearts (or, divorce is)
I am an avatar
fearless defender of mortals
with yellow mom hair
I’m a wisecracking plushy
just the right size
to pull close in the night
a bright voice on the phone
soothing smile on a screen
my thumbs say i ♥︎ u a thousand times over
but not the warm body
she is wired to hold, the heart beat she’s known
since before birth
no matter the story, missing’s the same
a thousand times apart, a thousand
broken hearts
