“I am keenly aware

that my feelings

do not make a dent in his life,

but deep down,

in a place of twisted compassion,

I know

I wouldn’t really want them to.

So I’ll watch out the car window

with a rubber neck

as someone

who looks an awful lot like me

gets absolutely totaled;

the wailing sirens

and flashing lights

performative afterthoughts

of warning.”

Our first gaze held such history. It was the single most convincing feeling that we had been great lovers in a previous life. Or that we currently existed as such within a parallel dimension unknown to us. The way he couldn’t tear his sight away from me. The way he wouldn’t even if he had been able to. His piercing, paperweight eyes, beneath the weight of which I was willingly pinned. My core a phoenix bursting into flames.

d.c.
