false reasons in untimely seasons
the positves and negatives
of unnurturing bodies open to understand.
the reasons for skipping and then crying,
deletion and expulsion
frenzied fingers and sighing skin.

there is an ambivalence of nothingness
i am not yet willing to accept,
be it cold or weak or shrill or lacking confidence
there is a sturdiness underneath the many many
layers of falling and that



that
is where
i am.
