Confession

we almost lived
didn't we?

the word trapped
      black blood beneath the nail
           dead letters

you stopped my voice out
with your fists
         our fits
           u & i
           dead letters

my word is a
fine web swaying
             on the hinge of a door

with nothing caught
i'm as good as my word
