angst cycle (iii) 
[ƛ] (ii)
i’m close 
i’m so close 
to sending her  
that email
 
“might you like 
to start 
that conversation 
again”
 
or maybe 
i’ll say 
negotiation
 
nothing to lose 
if she says no 
as i expect 
i’ll still be here
 
not quite 
i’ll feel more hurt 
another three seconds 
on a hundred years
