I do crosswords alone.

Comments (0) | Email Piece

 

Since meeting you,

I do newspaper crosswords

in pen.

The paper’s ink smudges

a murky crescent on the edge of my palm,

from the tip of my pinky to my wrist,

annihilating neat boxes,

leaving only my letters, my words,

my answers.

Their permanence meaning more

than if they are

correct.
