bottled bookmarks

i don’t think i knew i was walking

from a whole

but not fully, not from you

it’s exciting because you love stories

telling them less than hearing them

so i carry myself just enough to speak

and years from now

we’ve bottled bookmarks and pictured proof

we can illustrate every annotated line

it’s exciting because

i get this whole other life

but i didn’t need to be without you, to know that i don’t want to be
