Coloring In The Spaces

Trying to understand
  why you marked up your body
  -I stared at the ink

The memory of your open promise
  still inside of me
   -unfulfilled

Retracing that promised memory
  with new symbols
   -stained forever

You colored in the empty spaces
  I was unable
   -or unwilling to see

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
