The Revenant

Something I have mourned for
with all my heart.
Something I have eviscerated and disposed of, neatly.

The sight of him pinches at me
and I surrender as my elastic skin does,
without combat,
pressing against his warm, accustomed fingers.

I cannot look him in the eye,
when we speak and drink.
I think it too cruel and too honest.
