The Breakup

by David Garner



you, the splinter
on the heel of my hand,
so awkward to extract

...a tight, lingering loss, still there, and awkward--great word, like Rumi, you say a lot w/ so few words...

That splinter - we've all had one - makes this pain very real.

Why did this make me smile all the way through? I know it hurts, but still, it's just the way you put it!
