blake

i weep for the him
who was embarrassed by her
who did not know the difference
between love and comfort
and when she discovered it
took down his heart
and tore out the pages
tore each subplot out
and took all the sonnets 
and swallowed the vowels
of the prettiest verbs 
and the properest nouns 
and she threw them back up
and flossed from her teeth 
the a’s and the i’s and the o’s and the e’s
and she brushed from her tongue
the letters of his name
but mopped up her own
so he could start over again 
ah what i wouldn’t give
to read it
ah what i wouldn’t give 
to read it
ah what i wouldn’t give to have just one page
a catch up, a run in, a small coffee date
to hear how you’re doing
to know that you’re safe
but I know that you have no more capital Js
they’re in my left pocket
and I saved one B for my locket
