i spill the words like coins into the couch cushions. you look at me. i say, hello, in that way that people say hello when they really need an answer now, before panic, ideally, before regret. you look at me. you look at me. you look at me. is anybody in there? is anybody in there? i joke, because i'm joking now because that is how to salvage things or, at least, it used to be, pretend it's humor, pretend it's a misunderstanding, pretend it's anything other than what it is, but you're grabbing my face and your nails are sharp and you're pulling me into you like limp cloth and my hands are out to the sides like limp cloth and you're calling me idiot, idiot, idiot and i'm saying sorry, sorry, sorry and i feel the metal of my cents start to warm under the bodies we've got

there is a finality to a poem , like there is a finality to a love letter , i am wondering at what point in a relationship does one typically write their first poem and at what point does its charisma expire
