Stretched out from reaching out
in a feather world.
So light, so not, so little of everything.
I break the wounds and open up.
Guilty.
Shallow flesh. Shallow needs.
Burnt paper words, a flow of ash.
Throwing away my magicians hat,
and giving in to a belief in the thing of things,
yeah, the thing that shows what is never mine.
This is conversation.
This is meaning.
This is what it is when I speak too soon:
She nods and looks away.
Thus it ends.
