Him before: a bulge in a great suit in the photo; a blond, a poet, an accident; her best friend. Him after: The roof, some art, his terrible friends, that vest, spilled wine. Scrapes, stitches. Innuendo. No kisses. Sagittarius. Awkward sex, kisses, blond beard, not-blue eyes, poetry; ‘Sing me Spanish Techno’; art again, more wine; his captivating friends. Text messages. Vocabulary, attention, manners, sublime sex, that playlist: ass-over-teakettle. Teach me three things. Check-in on me. Open the car door; tell me how smart I am; “No, don’t tell your mother about me.”; Buy me a corkscrew. Give me water, make me coffee with honey; keep me warm. Read me; put me down; don’t finish. Grow John Berryman’s beard. Unravel. Pull my hair. Let me go. Disappear.

Me before: Mother of two. Me after: Mother of one.
