LIVE

dappled sunlight dances through my front door

it’s so brightly colored i falter

in my steps towards the kitchen  


the door is wide open even if i remember

slamming it shut just the day before

the hinges rattling against the frame


so sharply it felt like my body

would fall apart along with it

it feels like every joke


that fell flat between us;

every off-bitten curse to hide our frustrations;

every laugh we forced through our perfect lips

i stare at the gold dripping into

the entrance of my house, the copper  

traipsing the same path as stubborn vines


you are very easy to forgive

even if forgiveness sits sour

on the tip of my tongue
