you've slept with your mouth
wide awake on the sofa with the tv making muffled noises.
you need to get up to drink water but you just sleep instead
static from the blanket shocks you, but at least something's keeping you warm.
i try to imagine how you felt, but all i remember is written, spoken, thrown away.
i start rifling through trash bags
breathe in
i plug in my shredder
breathe out
i unplug my phone
