Sapphic Valentine

My eyes feel like
eight-track tapes
my brain is so broken
my feet are standing
in cement buckets
but the crime’s how calm
he is
sitting next to you
while I stand still as a street
for a few moments
every hour in the memory
of your laughter at my pain
finally those two meeting
bumping into one another
and then suddenly
changing places
like death was
waiting nearby.
