when a plural changes to singular

It was the moment we were born.

Seconds apart, we came into the world.

It always annoyed us, always bothered us

that neither of our parents could remember

which was older, the first from the womb

We would always tease each other

But we were inseparable all the same.

 

It was the year that we changed

to the lonely, bitter I.

The year I went to my first funeral

and staring into the coffin numbly,

I remember seeing an almost

exact replica of myself

 

And that was the moment I broke.
