someone dropped a plate
and when i heard the crash,
it sounded so planned
and deliberate
i don't know why
i think pa**ion is a thing
of the past
i watched the moon from when
it was a waning crescent until
it was plump and full,
a ripe womb
i watched the moon collapse
on itself until there was nothing
these births and d**hs,
gaudy-bright and fever-hot,
don't move me anymore
i saw you in the hospital
before they sent you away
it was like a dropped plate,
or a vanishing moon
it was
us, there
it was
that's it
