And I could hate myself
for grieving over you
I could bury the make-believe
in a shoebox beside the house
next to the butterflies
whose spasms of beauty
are just one breath in
the oxygen tank
Hear me
I am sinking straight through
right down to the briny deep
You were the oxygen tank
crammed full of butterfly breaths
I so very much wanted to keep.
