relationship post-mortem

meeni levi

In retrospect

I should have known something was up

When you told me an etching

Of Saint Sebastian

Reminded you of me


The arrows cutting

Into my soft belly

Nestling

Between protruding ribs

Before meeting at the epitome

Of contradictory expectations

That I call my heart

Never home but in the wound of it
