Love #2
by maggie nelson

There was harmony in our midst; for a moment, it was sacred.
You told me to put an orange in my cunt, then watched me do it
with a small clementine seemingly made for that purpose.
Later you danced like an imbecile on the roof, calling yourself The Puppet.
The heroin you carried was the color of crushed camel.
I flushed bags of it down the toilet.
Once when you were comatose, I crawled on top
and looked down into a valley of sinuses.
Sat in silence. Did not pummel you awake. Did not
insist you promised to love me through this.
