Him and Her

By: Aurora Leigh

In the light I could see
His tattoos, and he could
See mine.

We couldn't see each other's
Scars but we both knew
They were there.

Mine from a different
Him and his from
A different her.

I showed him the light
Switch plate in my room. Noah's
Ark.

He wanted it
On, and I wanted it
Off.

I'd never been on that end
Of the conversation before.
Never not the "no."

That's what is was: dark,
And over, and
No.
