i've already broken your heart


by Lynn Beighley


we don't really know each other
not yet
but even so, your heart
it is shattered
like those cheap potato chips.

no, not Pringles,
but one
of those
greasy ones, and they're at the bottom
of the bag, in salty fragments.

i helped do this, and
I wet
my fingers
and stick them to these shards
and lick them off because they are yours.
