By Autumn Collins
Hastily thrown together,
The contents of the last box
From the last trip to the old apartment,
Now his,
Spill on the bed in a grand finale.
Unexpectedly,
Among the stamps and loose change,
His cock points at me
From the corner of an old Polaroid.
How strange an accusation
That is both ridiculous and sad.
A small flipbook of images here
That are no longer rightfully mine,
But I don’t know how to look away.
Wickedly bound and bent
I can’t make sense of which way is up or down.
Faded and foreign,
They are silent pornography
In a dead language.
