Taren


added to the list of this I did not know
There is a country called Kazakhstan
Bigger than France, Spain, Germany
et cetera
combined
it is 4x the size of Texas
 

subtracted from the list of this I know too well
her smell
the sound of my name in her mouth
soon. she will never fill my eyes
again.
already. the fog between us
is a barbed fence of fare-thee-well
trilled softly through gulps of air
that we are done does not ease
the friend she's been to me
she will only be a state away
they say
they do not know that our states
are not mappable
cannot be trekked again
our last meal shared and I cannot swallow
there is a knot growing that is bigger
than I am
that is 4x the size of Texas
