Rupture

She said there was a rupture.

Rupture, rupture.

As if it were a bad thing.

Remembered how it felt,

Tired in her body,

Drying up her words.

Rupture.

And I can feel my

Annoyance at her

Relationship with pain.

Rupture.

And annoyance at me

For my annoyance

With her.

Rupture.

At the delicate and lovely way,

To say that something

Felt like shit.

Rupture.

Because waters break,

And babies cry.

Rupture.

And seedlings crack,

So flowers bloom.

Rupture.

And lovers moan,

Release, and sigh,

Rupture.

Rupture, rupture, rupture, LIFE.
