Evasion

this is my evasion, clear avoidance of you
switch off my love with the remote control
tune out of your voice and watch Newsnight instead.
empty calories to fill the void you left behind
close the curtains on the moon-world and your face.

i read Plath- it’s for me for me for me
i clean my teeth not for you only for me
for you don’t have to face my consequences
and I don’t need you to show me the way.

but repeats are looming,
my metabolism racing
and the morning just one night away.
