KNOCK OUT


To describe this awful sadness,
The melancholy which strikes
So hard, I must posit,
In contradiction to tradition,
a physical soul.

Your absence floors my spirit.
I struggle to rise before the ten-count.

I bleed, darling, I bleed.
Your blows have opened a cut
above the eye.
The men in my corner struggle
to fix it.

They might not let me
face another round.

For me the fight is over.
