i hope he crushes your lungs

Jess on February 9, 2005

you made no exceptions
to your lists,
upon list
upon list
upon list
so repetitive, aren’t we?
aren’t we?
and when he found light
at your feet
on your doorstep
you were swooning
as the smoke poured from his mouth
you found yourself accepting
&
excepting.

i wonder,
years later,
has his love let you down?
