Favorite Part of Letter Go

The woman from Norway
delicately broke my ribs
one by one in the dark

hyperextending
my sentimentality.

I thought about you
in the darker

how novelties from May
wore off faster
than your mascara
on a rainy night.

How the hours since August
have been mocking me
and the one that follows
is a bullet:

how I can’t stop time
from reaching my eyes.

I thought about us
in the darkest

but it’s goofy thinking
that led us here

and goofy thinking
that can reverse

these fractures.
