Takhsir1

I found your notes today
the braille of your hand
on piece of blue-lined notebook paper
top edge ripped and scattered

I felt your thoughts
dated 3 years ago
when there was some thing in us
the unlikeliness of mishap
          before your words fell into cracks
          before I began carving my skin off with a spoon
