chore

she swept the room with one grand gesture-
just one lengthening of the arm,
shoulder rotation,
flick of wrist-
and it was done.
she swept the room entire
with one whole
and very grand
gesture.

i saw your fall
full of purpose
heavy with intent
but i just watched

my tattoo

it's right to not pretend
but it''s best to not do so
evenly
in every facet of the facade
but ok,
i know enough now
to rule a few things out
-something i lied about
(and said
i would not do)
before a shift in the plates
we'd found our centers on
made promises null and void
and suddenly i'd discovered
that elusive calculation
to determine the absolute
value of things.
