“And stars, which gave us the word distance, / so we could name our deepest sadness.”

wound is another word for a person
              who loved you until they decided
              your trauma was too heavy
              for their lungs
              as if they were breathing in tragedy
              and not you

— Moira J., from “Love Is a Bundle of Teachings,” published in Palette Poetry
