The jangle of keys, the caustic scars

The jangle of keys, the caustic scars
She left on my incorporeal body
Were signifiers of limitedness,
Or reminders of sin and prior failure.

I never really did quite understand
The meaning of the meanness or the way
She seemed to gloat at her insensitive
Parade of violence, argument and hate.

Never before! I am the little boy
That sticks his curious nose into the grass
And hums a melody that don't make sense.

O see the fault you have in all of this!
Let's not pretend we both don't hold the guilt
For the inglorious conflict that's transpired.
