Is snake-like
You feel cold at first
Then, as you approach the middle
Your middle
Grows out of you
In warmth
And slowly it slips
Your mind
Skating on thin ice
It cracks – your skin:
Is
Dedicated to no 1. As there is no hope.
The words have gathered quietly to moan
They are descending hills, and climbing waves
In quiet mourn
The words have been worn out like clothes
Still
I’ve grown like a habit
on your back
Like the habit of sitting on a chair
or drinking water
from a glass.
You may kick me at any time
but not without discomfort.
