Gravestone (v.1).

You make the first tattoo
seem easy.  To mark you here,
where I question beauty, constantly,
to complicate eternally a memory
that time has simplified.  To memorialize
complexity, that struggle for beauty or a scar
I recognize and don’t regret.  To forget
the distance between your name screamed
and your name sighed.   To realize
I have only one body, and you
have just one name.
