Can we forgive? Can we see every earth shattering distraction we have created? Do we obvliviously cause the ripple that makes the ground shake?



Kneeling forward, rocking backward.
rip my eyelids closed,
closed (as far as you can tell)

and when you're there,
leave a fracture so i don't forget

tell me how i leave you spinning,
how you love the flecks of gold 
that dance in my eyes

tell me what happens when i leave
how it hurts
--how you feel the wind a bit sharper
when i turn away

i can't fall alone
take this part of me and wait
