Months have passed, yet
the sigils that deface your flesh
burn in my retinas.  Phantoms
of your long-boned hands haunt my
curves and angles.  I still dwell

in those five days when you'd gut
me with vicious smiles.  Your
mouth was a knife; your kisses
opened wounds in me.  Mornings

we'd exhale clouds of frost.  The air
was old smoke and spilled beer.
You'd turn to sear the lightbulb heat
of your hard chest into my corpse-

cold skin.  At noon we'd falter outdoors
numb, half-blind in the snow with
cigarettes and unspoken words stale
in our mouths.  With a certain bitter taste
that seeped down our throats.
