Better OffA Poem by Emmy J.M. Powell
how dare you think that my veins don't throb for you, even months after I left
how dare you think that my love for you wasn't tripping over itself and drip dropping over its toiling rim how dare you think that we wasted our time because you were gorgeous laying in a night shirt, legs bare and folded over each other and dotted in pink mosquito bites you were gorgeous tangled up in bleached sheets of our creaking Toronto guest house, breathing deeply through chapped lips but you were beautiful when you sat cross-legged in your bed next to me, nodding silently behind your hair as I said to you: "I think we'd be better off apart."
