I can barely tolerate reality -
It’s too confining
Letting go can be seen
Holding hands with moving on
They’re connected like me and him;
Us & them
Which sentence, phrase,
String of words,
Series of
Vowels and consonants
Have the power to bring you
To your knees
Or make you shake violently,
Body racked with echoing sobs
What would destroy you
Completely
Which ones would pierce your carefully stitched-up
Heart of glass pieces
Would they make you spew poison
Or would you be okay with it
Maybe they wouldn't matter as much
As the person behind them
Maybe
You’ve already been
Cut open
