KNEW. (Revised)


 Read the rough draft here. Even though this version isn't the final version.
 
--- 

I’m swirling a sip
of some wine
in a wide mouth Manson jar—
and we are still
breaking up over two day old
birthday pizza.

Then I said, “I tried
to drink an entire bottle of wine.”
But I had a performance to remember.

You asked if I slept with your brother.

So I stopped
on the fifth pour— when my face got hot
and I could just barely see
the script.

After the show,
I ended up burning your socks
and set of paintbrushes.

And even more in that fire,
I knew what I had done too.
