bruises (for MKO)

ten years ago
after we woke up
I was telling you the stories
about every new bruise
on our legs
about every scratch
about every scab
you were putting the kettle on
to make us
tea

bruises exploded
like stars
they have spread blue tint
all over our skin
and died quietly
after a few weeks

now the stories remain
untold
silenced
waited through
I swallow bitter saliva
when I discover them in the morning
if I happen to think of you
I smile daftly

galaxies are being born
and die
and everything else
is already so far away.
