YOU
YOU
I possess myself. I hold myself like a broken animal, weary from the road.
BROKEN — not continuous in space, time, or sequence or varying
abruptly; "broken lines of defense"; "a broken cable
transmission"; "broken sleep";
broken line"; "a broken note"; "broken sobs" [ant:
unbroken]
UNBROKEN — I write letters to myself, I have since allowed myself to know. To feel. I hope you remember what we did.
adj 1: treated irreverently or sacrilegiously [syn: profaned,
violated]
The sculpture we’ve been making all my life, the one your hands lay on. I have been working. You have been sleeping. Sleep is an animal that we let go; made the soft surface of my body tired, far away, a lovely dance with the goddess, the fragile distance.
The distance I take for you now is considered. I love, love, love the broken bones in my body. Demonstrate, now, the temporal mechanic called hate — I can’t be expected to bail you out, anymore. I loved with shame, and you killed the shame, so I love endlessly. You never did, so I do it for you.
