shaped circumstance

before i twisted that blade in your spine;
before i lost that home in your heart;
before you finally walked away from me -
i knew.

reality finally bent to my mind's corruption
& all my doubts gave way to some chasm
where the good parts of us are lapsed.

we don't rest easy there
because from there -
i hear the mourning.

i fend off the ache
with spirits & smoke
& other familiar strangers.
