Misery, from Grief Lessons

all the ways I try to love

all the ways I try to love:

I watered my ribcage
with my chrysanthemum tears
      and give you apology bouquets,

I wrote your texts
into century-old love letters
       like Romeo and Juliet's,

I made homes for you
inside my bedridden corpses
       where you can rest your grief

I tried to love,
  tried to love you enough
           for both of us.
