numb

and in all these moments of joy

exstasis repeated, lost and restablished

there was always something bitter

something reminding, something knowing

something bland, something dull


since I live alone

incomplete


and all these moments of joy

couldn't revive what was dead

couldn't fill what was emptied

and when the pain was gone

only numbness remained
