2d
I’m deleting you in fragments
Digits before pictures
Like pulling teeth in the wrong order
The apps still think we’re married
Offering me sales on rings
A carousel of anniversaries I don’t want tickets for
Every playlist is wired with shrapnel
A hook catches my ribs
The bridge splits open under me
Even silence feels like background music I forgot to turn off
Your name surfaces in autofill
A half-built ghost the keyboard won’t let rot
Loss written out for me before I even breathe it
I clear the cache
But the body has no settings menu
Skin remembers fingerprints
Shoulders still flinch at phantom weight
The servers keep everything
So do I
Unopened folders
Permissions denied
A hard drive buzzing at night
With what it refuses to erase
Storage hums with locked doors
And the silence clicks
Like teeth behind them
