Gerald threw
the tennis ball
in a perfect
arc across
the auditorium
and it hit
the light fixture
in a kiss-like
shatter bullseye
sending glass
flying around
the room like a
terror premonition
of the sieges
we are imagining
Glen told me
he wants to
date and be
romantic and
see each other
a lot and he
knows that isn’t
what I want
and his silence
is just like mine
now that the
dream is
splintering
his hope was
a sunny slimy
thing seeping
through my phone
to perfect vases of stanzas that broke me as they splintered!
