Year Eight

I watched a video about how breeders
keep the female mantis from killing the male.
Read a book that claimed
most women fall back in love
in the seventh year of marriage.

Both were related—
but missed the point.

I looked for myself in the mirror.
The person I was is gone.
Gone. Gone.

I searched your face for you.
The person you were was gone.
Gone. Gone.

What remained? Just us.
Us.
Us.
Us. Now.
