[ID: I love you; I don't know how else to begin. / How we began, though, was almost as if / it were already written. The details of how we arrived / at each other, to say I love you even as we fall asleep, / to let each other's name be the first sound / we utter every morning, can only be a gift of careful / construction, / a design of an elsewhere where we were already together. / Saying nothing, you make me want to live / more meaningfully. The world is so wild, beautiful, / and terrifying, and everywhere we turn, a new atrocity. / Then, I close my eyes and picture joy. / Among things, there is this day. Among faces, / there is yours. And I am no longer afraid. / I watch you in your own, quiet moments, / and I want this life. I want this life / to be longer. All I want is more time with you. / This is the only way I know how to end.]

[ID: I do not / realize I am hurt until I am / real hurt or I do not / at all realize a day or days / later I see my useless hands & / & wonder what has happened how / did that happen]

[ID: The breach, the rupture, / the picture of it—there are things we shouldn't / have to see. Why would anyone want to see the / inside of anything? I think about my brain. The / metaphor of it. I think about my heart. The / metaphor of it. I think about looking at the / earth from space. No monkey was ever supposed / to see that. Nauseating.]

Heat Map, Richard Siken
