Chapter Eleven

Infinite

HIATUS

David says

We should have some time

Apart

He needs to work on forgiving me

But right now

He’s busy

Forgiving Michael.

You need to forgive me too, he says

For what? I almost say

But my throat burns

Tied in a knot with the anger

I still hold for him

The night in jail

The lawyer and

Panic, how I

Drowned in

Panic

That pours out of me

As tears.

See? I knew it, he says

You wouldn’t behave like that

Without a reason.

We hold each other

The words

I’m so sorry

Orbiting us and then

We give each other space

And time

Which after all

Are both

Infinite.
