Someone Used to Know Your Skin

The fleshy bit—
just above the elbow—
just so


there’s no meaning here, no explanation
(you won’t)
you won’t find it

it
the tear — an ache — not an explanation


when you say “it rings true”
is that a sound or a circle
or an explanation

what is the function of

this space

what is the function of confusion
or a body
catching up
to its thoughts


if

what a beautiful
little if
