Our income taxes come back.
December 5, 2012
Our income taxes will come back with
both our names
but
I think I'm done associating with you
because, dear husband,
you used to fit
so tightly against me,
your bumps filling my spaces.
But I think erosion may have ground up
what was left of the soft cheeks
you used to hold in your hands,
or maybe it was your
derogatory cursing that rubbed them off.
Since I am only worth
the blood stains you can wipe off
of your knuckles anyway,
I think we should file our taxes
separately this year.
Me, with my maiden name, and you, not at all.
