Mastodon Immunization - Genevieve Legacy - Poetry - Sensitive Skin Magazine

Immunization

Today you are a paper husband—
torn envelopes, bill stubs, a refund check for $5.68
scatter-piled on the wormwood table.

I’ve imagined in this way before,
divined absence with hot, brackish tears—
a homeopathic dose.

I text you at lunchtime,
When it’s easier to love
in a surprising way.
