CLEAVE

She loved-
pain it traveled
so clean it healed
his intentions
trapped in a fjord
and nowhere to go
the balance of affection
suddenly in the red

hated him after
her body like a piano
from the outside in
the aftershocks rocked her
a rage with power
so eventually she hated
shifting from one column
a bad investment

the first time
wire with a cut
she could never trust
a tsunami
to cross oceans
=loved him
like a business
drowning in debt
