Literature Text

We are always bound by fragments-
little shards that pierce this skin
that we have tried to make so thick.

Wearily we peer out from little slits
we have cut.
Looking out from a place of built safety
for a compatible shelter.

Woven together through misplaced irony
and pity, but also love,
until emotion wavers and all that resides is:
You.

So frail
is the thin cotton that pulls us together –
holding us thread by thread – until eventually,

we fall apart; a pile of simple string
sitting on the earth.
Go on I dare you to define me, you, that person.
