I.

On his childhood bed,
with broad daylight streaming through the windows
making my skin as pale as the sheets and stripping
my bare body of any grace or perfection,
that pinch came deep inside me,
like the sharp sensation I felt
when I was a little girl and I stuck my finger in
my belly button as far as it could go.
Cradled somewhere in his arms,
with his soft, wet back in my palms...
I might have considered
slightly
what I had traded for this moment of false freedom
that we insisted we created.
I could taste his salty skin
while my eyelids slipped half shut
and the sunlight danced around my damp eyelashes,
eroding my mind,
massaging it, speaking sweetly to me:
Indifference.
