"He thinks he can make it up to you
by suddenly replacing you

with an eyeless, mouthless mannequin,
silently positioned against your closed garage door
like an unasked for reminder or a secret test.

She thinks she can make it up to you
by telling you to rip off its head
and immediately toss it in the garbage can.

As if all of this is easy
as long as you don't speak for yourself."

in the poem "Some People Want to Remove Your Eyes"
