separation

How can you split us so dispassionately?
Are you doctor
to two abominably attached twins?
I too use the hands
that you so hastily remove
from my company.
How can you bare
to lose these limbs
this blood, the very same
which deafened your senses
so loud was its pounding
in such a recent past.
Still I taste the mouth
tried on so often by me.
The lips, the lips, the lips
I sang from them.
