Jennifer Kronovet
For Us
always at an end—
the reason for
turning toward yet
another alley of him
while I—in the same
mood—am storing
myself to have
a past, The Past.
What is a lie
for us is holding
the astounding
private. No more
waiting for feeling
to be knowing
like a blade
against the fruit.
Just the feeling
and then saying—
and then another
reason for turning.
