another poem about wounds

these days, i try not to write about division

how many more years than an abacus

the splitting goes

how the oldest sound is

hollow

how moving beads crack

together then apart

how i exist

marking years in deaths

in severance

you don't have to tell me

division is just a pretty word

for wound

we made this wound

you don't have to

tell me

how the oldest sound is

breaking

there, i said it.
