Fluoxetine

there are people

who heal heartbreak

with poems

others

with tequila

or with problems

but few remember

that fluoxetine exists

a minimal miracle

of medicine

one pill a day

so that pain

stops being routine

20 mg

for his name

40 mg

for his voice

and the rest of the bottle

to accept

that it wasn’t love

it was habit

a mistake

perhaps it wasn’t destiny

but chemistry

out of balance
