Occlude
Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Consciously Woman
wide knuckles
and short fingers
skirt her name into the search engine
the room is dark
a few strands of her hair
left on the pillow
a photograph
and a letter she wrote
folded and unfolded
in a box
ritual
at the threshold of all the places she’s lived
she hides a dime
to eclipse her heart
to draw him even
bloodless
