august fourth

by Ava Blu

when i move on
something behind me,

in the boxes
taped shut
with the labels for each room in
my next place,

becomes a broken half
of a silver coin

and i hold it next to my nude body
when i sleep
so that the new covers hide just enough
for me to forget it is there.

Best of the August series so far. Without question.
