AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This poem is part of a larger piece titled “Last night you were inside out and blue” which I hope will be published as part of my chapbook manuscript Talk Right Down to Earth in the near future. It written from a particular voice that deals with the upending of a relationship from a perspective that is equal parts confessional and distant. I am wanting the reader to relate to the images without feeling alienated by specificity.
