Perfectly imperfect

Published on 28/07/2024 by Maciej ModzelewskiLeave a comment

I was born with a broken heart—perfectly imperfect
with every blood-stained handkerchief and every letter
from my solicitor—but that’s probably still better
than being heartless, I guess.

Love is not a word

Published on 10/07/2024 by Maciej ModzelewskiLeave a comment

Love is not a word—it’s an acronym,
but you will never learn what it stands for
until one day a man in a horsehair wig asks you
for its cash equivalent transfer value, or CETV,
and a few other lovely abbreviations.
