Excerpts from Replacable Until You're Not by Brenda Shaughnessy



I’ll always be the same woman you loved,
              this woman I no longer am,

I’ll be her and re-be her
             because I can’t replace myself.

Hers is the body you loved, she was yours,
              this future corpse;

no matter how many lovers she, her body, and I have,
              only you know the curvature that stops your heart...
