When I asked for it, you built a sturdy table for our kitchen,
even though it was summer and it was hot and you had to
work outside with the mosquitos. You sanded down all
the sharp edges, stained its thick legs. You tuned each
ivory tooth of that old piano we found on the side of
the road and dragged as heavy as a dead animal into
our dining room. You tightened the fan above our
bed—the one that used to wobble, seasick, like
a drunk. You unclogged the shower drain,
fished out a month of my hair. You are
always fixing things. But what is this,
my love? A crack in the ceiling.
A faulty pilot light. A keyhole in
your sternum that opens to
an ocean of doubt. I stared
into your chest last night
as if it was a telescope.
I saw our future in the
distance, an island
both of us would
rather drown
than swim to:
you cannot
fix what
wants
to be
brok

know someone
until you’ve read
what they write
at 3 am when
loneliness
consumes them
but does not
destroy them
