and i hope you remember me
as I remember you
broken down, disparaged, with a head full of glue -
I understood why you had to go
I understood it from the scars on my thighs
that blend in just right
with the stretch marks that line my skin-covered joints
and I find myself thinking of forget-me-nots
Babies breath - life or death
It's all the same
Except when it takes me to that place
A place where I have no name
No face
No problems or wonders
Or anything at all
