I thought I understood it

that I could grasp it

but I didn’t, not really

Only the smudgeness of it

the pink-slippered

all-containered

semi-precious eagerness of it

I didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole

that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea

Because it’s the halves that halve you in half

I didn’t know

don’t know

about the in-between bits

the gory bits of you

and the gory bits of me.
