divorce, with insects

in our brave new
               post-apocalyptic world
         sex is background radiation

a few unsteady
               clicks on a lemon yellow box
         are all that remain

of the great heat
               that once fused skin and meme
         left now just puddled glass

and damaged chromosomes
               but, o my love, o
         i took you out as well, as well

& so these beetles eat our bones
