change always showed
some lie
in the set of her lips
eating together in TV light
between knowing without language
and my commitment to belong
to her
I had no pride
I would have begged
my tongue queer and frantic
but time shuddered on our watch
she did know
how I broke with love
and that she needed nothing
from me
