Always finding the same relationship?

————

You come and you go -

sometimes you complain

with your quicksilver tears

spilling onto the floor

or maybe you will shout

and say I’m egocentric

and that I have no

space to ‘incorporate’

but I have no time for displays

of bathetic emotionality,

your desire to correct me

or your view on misogyny

all I know is that

every time I recline

it is on a simple background

of silence as my only constant.
