my
back
is
bare
except
for
heavy
breath
pouring
adoration
down
my
spine
but
my
cheeks
are
damp
with
the
weight
of
hidden
tears
I
release
in
denial
at
the
absence
of
you
and
the
presence
of
her
I'm
reticent
with
desperation
to
remove
the
heat
from
her
lips
the
love
in
her
eyes
and
replace
my
silence
with
this
buried
grief
raking
through
harrowed
ribs
a
compounded
fracture
of
the
truth
and
lies
exchanged
with
fingers
crossed
yours
mine
