Dinosaur

Dinosaur

Scraping the bits and

Pieces and remains dug and excavated

As if I can reassemble the broken mirage

Of morning breath and not enough room together in the shower

Dinosaur

And I thought your grand gestures intoxicating

Spectators gasping at the fallacy of our marriage

Lost bones, sometimes shattered, sometimes large

Fossils of the grand beauty we had on the world

Dinosaur

Was so big, our pictures, our stories

Our friends surrounding

“You look so cute together”

“The perfect couple”

Raging, roaring while the meteor

Hurled its giant body toward us

Dinosaur

And I thought it funny

And imagined

That we could be a species

Not possible of extinction

Teeth gnarled gnarly fangs of ripping prey to shreds

The thuds behind the bathroom door

That rock now slammed impact into the ground

Mile high oceans

And fire

And extinction

Dinosaur

A monstrosity of regret, and fear, and horrified

Roar curdled in my mouth

Your claws through her hair

Scraping her scalp

Pushing into her

Thrusting the bits and remains and now

Dug-up memories stuck in the mud

I fall to the floor, its impact so sudden

Dinosaur

Of a divorce

Dinosaur

Of split lives pushed to the center of our planet

Once vibrant with large memories

That used to walk the earth

Dinosaur

Of hopes and existence

Now forgotten

Now enmeshed

Now only viewable in a museum

Our spectators guak and make comments

And movies and talks

Specialists on the matter, I suppose

But those pictures, and plaques and interesting facts

Dinosaur

Of a lost animal once real and now gone

I can barely find any remains left beneath the rock
