In the sole’s of your boots
I followed, piecemeal
Down the stairs
My heart’s regressing lament
Thumping like the sound
Of a secret door
Ensuing the acquisition
Of a psychopath
Only a shell can breach
Our contract and thanks
To your tending
I’ve grown empty, lucid
Like a uterus
That no longer insulates
Now that I am not a woman
I know what it means
And why I can never
Return to you
There’s a crawl space
Inside of me,
Just big enough
For a clenched fist
Gaping like the mouth
Of a well, so dark
That I’ve never seen
The bottom.
I wear it like a badge,
It’s a point of pride
That I’ve survived you.
I hope that you
Never escape blame
That everyone
Who looks at you
Sees my blood
And recognizes
At once the crime
I’ll never speak of you
I’ve expended enough time
And there’s nothing
Left to say
