rest easy
sleep
broken fall but fell through
temporary sanity of you
to complete this
ornamental pride hanging
from broken limbs
& live & live & live
not alive. just. yet.
unsteady hands steadily
piece together half-loves
whole-selves; one.
reaching
displacement shades home,
willingness to begin; end.
to find reason.
home & familiar hands.
again.
and again.
