Strange comfort
A breakup nonet
By F Cade SwansonPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Two thousand and something suction cups
could cover eight strong arms on me
like a squid, holding on tight
and you would still leave me.
Strange comfort but squids
have three hearts, too.
I guess that
leaves me
two.
