Coloring In the Spaces

Trying to understand why you marked up your body —I stared at the ink The memory of your open promise still inside of me —unfulfilled Retracing that promised memory with new symbols —stained forever You colored in the empty spaces I was unable —or unwilling to see (Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
