another poem about wounds
these days, i try not to write about division
how many more years than an abacus
the splitting goes
how the oldest sound is
hollow
how moving beads crack
together then apart
how i exist
marking years in deaths
in severance
you don't have to tell me
division is just a pretty word
for wound
we made this wound
you don't have to
tell me
how the oldest sound is
breaking
there, i said it.
