salient

head fogged
gauze wrapped
like a sinister gift
tied in a bow
no more do I know
what I knew
before bruises bloomed
like roses
and I swooned
not in Valentine arms
but alarm
the salient details
drip away
like the saline highway
of plastic tubes
connecting me to life
and untethering me
from you
