cast-off

she says
“i’m sorry
i disappeared, it’s just
i felt that i had been cast-
off, i always feel
that way”

he can’t look her
in the eye
having already
cast his line
downstream.

    i thought this poem was stupendous. In my opinion though, i would have changed the title simply because when you read “cast off” in the stanza, it loses some of its punch having read it in the title previously. but wow.
