you're hurting me
Episode description
‘you’re hurting me’
sky falls
a slap to the head
the sea notwithstanding
still, a ringing in my ear
and you, with your fondness
for forests, leave me as still
and cruelly as silent.
my stupid facial expression
from its pocket and read
like an inscription
duplicity has again
set its teeth onto me.
while you, indifferent,
unspeaking and unsharing,
slowly become what he became to you;
an instrument,
no longer the heart.
