was taught to you in a language of
miscarriage. Only butchery is beautiful,
only bruising can be sweet. The only roses
with fragrance are those that rot,
their meat dripping over expiration. But I spoke to you in tongues of child,
sucked through teeth of a sophomore bride.
And loved you without watching,
without orchestra breaking over us. If I could have protected me from learning that.
You, I loved without losing.
