TO AN EX-LOVER WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SERPENTS

PUBLISHED POETRY INCLUDED IN MY FORTHCOMING COLLECTION: LETTERS TO NOWHERE

---

you said i would unravel 

without you, 

but i’ve never been so 

tightly woven within myself 

as the day there was

no more us 

and i knew your fragile 

hands would not find 

the skin i shed when

you were my darkness.
