“

He says the world is ugly.

I agree.

We spend hours talking ourselves
into tears

over all the broken things
we have no way

of fixing.

We talk ourselves furious.

We talk until we are empty.

Then I say,

but the world is beautiful, sometimes.

He says,

You’re beautiful. But the world isnt.

I say I am in the world so

the world must be beautiful,

sometimes.

He says,

You are the world.

You are the world.

I say,

so sometimes I am ugly.

He says,

not to me.

Never to me.
