Jailbirds

Our footsteps scrape along
the granite surface of our days.
Your callous/ed fingers
careless across my ribs.

Abrasions of the ordinary.

Our bed a prison now,
a shared stretch
of solitary confinement.
Our proximity a lie.

Our footsteps scrape along

Abrasions of the ordinary.

Our bed a prison now,
a shared stretch
of solitary confinement.
