when the dusky twilight surrounds me physically,
i've been warned that all my poetry consists of unrealistic sappy devotion
and realistic dejection.
so here's something lighthearted
something i wish i could write
while i'm forlorn too:
i undressed myself in front of the mirror for the first time today.
i did it without grimacing or shaking.
my first instinct was to caress and kiss my skin
to make up for when he did not.
regardless
it still turns into a heartbreak of words
about him.
