scribbles on place mats
i wouldn't keep for you
they said to take the leap
but never mentioned the pushing
and how hard the fall would be
not understanding
but understood
my feelings
guilt
your questionable intentions
youth

this
will quake break make a thousand pieces
of us to live in sleep in
wrap ourselves in
reminding
and others will applaud or look on
ghostly
ghost-like i have almost become
remember my eyes fingertips hands arms...

(it's all so fragile now)

wrap yourself in
reminding
