Divorce Song
Johanna M. Vining
I want to say it was, but
it was never about me
jealousy captured slime heart
affidavit of regularity, of plaintiff
sworn statement
remembering: love forever
but only until it wasn’t about me
instructions for filing, for severing
heart aside (beating, tender thing)
logical stance. We are. We were.
snow ball rolling. week after week
compilation of all those things unsaid
begging for kisses, for affection, for versed vices
meanwhile: neverwas, nevermore, neverwas
crow on my compost singing
