tell me,
I used to say to him
whenever we were
tense in the festering
breaths of an argument-
do I bleed like all of the
others
he had strung himself with yarn
through the lives of so many women that he hated-
and on those days when anger cursed us,
I'd flash it in his face until he erupted all over me.

he was the type that dealt with anger silently-
I was the type that needed to physically feel it
and hear it and breathe it,
not just sense it.

we were good.
