i've been unkind MAG
i. in which i spite planets
i hang up the phone with a sharp
click - it was saturn
on the other line,
begging for her ring back
between hiccuping sobs but
i told her i'm
not gonna give it up
so easy: she must remember
it was all mine
to begin with
ii. in which i love too quickly, and in all the wrong ways
god i want a voice - a mind -
that won't snag itself
on a hurricane
(and i've always thought
i look so much prettier
with such sharp tears
boiling
in my eyes)
iii. in which i am a crumb in an infinite sky
i look myself straight
in the face and i say,
"you are not a goddess,
you are just a girl,"
but there is something
aching in me that
begs me to believe
that i am wrong,
and another something
aching back that
begs me to believe
that i am right;
and i take a breath in
and i am harmony,
and i take a breath out
and i am entropy
and i take a breath
and i take a breath
and i take
and i take
and i take
and i take,
but i
am empty.
