By Ryan Quinn Flanagan
Breaking Your Heart Was Easy
The cars line the street like curbed turtles
spuddling with inertia,
sketchy bellhop flies working the door
in teams.
And the don has left the family.
Breaking your heart was easy,
hardly a crime of note.
Watching those lost auburn curls
drop down past your shoulders
with a theatre curtain fini.
To an angel’s dancing calm
we go, to places unseen,
early glories:
silt songs of the whaling deep.
