Game Over - SoZeSoZe

I miss the family

we never had

and the one we try

to have but are

falling

short of

a happy ending

but not the family

which is drama

and tragedy

and comedies of

triangulations

and disarticulations -

the sort of story

a simple silver

wedding band

could never write,

alone

the sort where

a husband's tales

are lip

serviced lies

alibies and departures.

Iris

You know more about me than anyone. You are my world.

(Iris (2001) The young Iris Murdoch to John)

I miss

believing you

love me

best, for 

knowing me

deepest. I

miss your

good intentions

but not

the hell

you pave

with them.

Your commitment

to mistaking

my I-dentity

is catastrophic

I miss good sex, but
not mutual masturbation,

side by side
in the dark, silence creeping
over my belly and breasts

onto my tongue
like a death threat.

such orgasms
leave stains of despair
no shower can erase.

I miss the man, who

 I thought had my back, but not 

the look-alike man, who

twists his lies

doing bodily harm

leaving grievious holes

where dreams escape
faster than the speed
of blood.
