Black and Blue


My fingers hurt
for no reason
other than
they are
the last thing
that doesn’t hurt
on my body.

Head to toe
side to side
black and blue
hematoma.

When I met you,
I tripped up.
I fell down.
I hit my head.

Internal
hemorrhages
bleed out.
I close my
eyes.

Nothing good
survives.
It’s all dead.
