In this hou se I sit
on a chair t hat has
yet to be m oved
it takes tim e to pack
up furnitur e that
decorated a home
I trace my f ingers on
a groove in the wood
grain of the kitchen table
a mistake f rom when
you cut app les without
a cutting bo ard for you
were runni ng late to
work and d idn't have
time to take care but
it was okay what was
one mark on a wooden
table anyway ? I was not
angry about i t perhaps
I should've be en since
you feel like I don't feel
anything then maybe
you wouldn't be moving
out of my hea rt without me

A little while back (can't remember how long ago actually) I was doing a whole bunch of poems with different breaks in them to mimic different bone fractures. This is one that I hadn't been able to post because I just couldn't get a grasp on what I was trying to say. Still not sure if I've communicated anything but hey, it's in my drafts and I'm tired of it sitting there. Soooo what do you all think?
