Trimmed Edges
He wanted to be happy
To once again have a feel of ecstacy
He said the lady before her left in him a hole
Ever since he’s been trying again and again to become whole
She was willing the space fill
Ecstacy maybe to make him feel
What she had was wasn’t the right fit
Maybe if she trimmed the edges a little bit
A little bit on this side, a little more on that side she started to trim
She worked on herself for days
Some nights she had to stay awake
Working her heart to fit —trimming it away
Until there was nothing left to trim away…
