December Revised

december

 

a shoulder

a wrist

an ankle

connecting parts

 

december tore me to pieces

worked me until my throat was dry

  

a glass of water

 

                at 3:52 in the morning

                       i laugh

 because you look so vulnerable

                       walking naked into the kitchen

 

 

only a few sips before sleep , clammy bodies pressed up against one another.

 

 

here where the draft blows in from my closet

where the window broke in august;

december tears in.
