We have two years of    
piss-yellow paper stacked    
around the dump  
I used to call our home  
   
I pull up the letter you sent  
and the reason you sent it…  
   
   
Nevermindthegaps:  
“you in this pose   
partially braced   
my right arm behind your back supporting you   
my left hand trailing silk light touches  
from throat  
to nipples  
over your stretched tight abdomen…”  
   
“let me put in  
ten thousand hours   
with    
tutelage  
to perfect you  
as my instrument  
so that the best person to ever fuck you  
is you  
and the one you taught…”  
   
“I want to be mentored  
in cross training  
to feel how you feel  
when you feel yourself…”  
   
“I can speak my lust….”  
   
“art is subjective  
canvasses are subjective  
but every part of this moment  
is real  
and worth hours of effort to perfect   
the way my hands dance  
on you as if I’m recreating   
a more intricate version of the Sistine Chapel  
until your essence is tattooed into my muscle memory”
 
   
“I search daily for a gift  
of beauty for my saw-dust coated eyes  
let me finger-paint the suppleness of your body  
let me bring back a renaissance   
of poetry, art, building and experience  
with you  
as a canvass of sensuality”
 
   
   
You told me yesterday    
that I got more of you than anyone.  
   
Even her  
   
And I smile  
at your tone-deaf bullshit  
   
Like that’s a compliment.  
   
I try to remember  
how fucking crazy  
about you I was  
in this moment  
   
but I can’t.  
   
So I just hit delete.  
I crumble this  
worthless sentiment  
in my clenched
fist
and throw it  
away.  
 
The way you threw  
us  
away  
   
I got more than anyone,  
and at the end  
I got nothing.    
   
Fucking nothing.
