This split lip will remind me
If only for a week or so
Why I don’t like romances
that cardboard box full of my books
the suitcase that contains my clothes
will only hold my life
for a few days
while I resettle
And for an unspecified, though finite
amount of time
This record will be
Broken
And repeating
Those last few lines
But years from now I will be wondering
What was it that you said?
And in the wondering I will realise
As I run a thumb over my mouth
It doesn't matter at all.
