Down Your Face

Where I kissed you
dust
Your eyes twinkled
trails of rust

wasn't my fist that broke your smile that Novemeber morning

maybe treading water to stay afloat caused those three years of mourning

flung

can't cauterize
the torn veins when hearts break
momentum makes an orbit we can't shake

roller coaster and no motor
and no breaks

holes

I didn't know
that someone I didn't know
could smash my heart into
even smaller smitherines.
