cup your hand underneath a flower, delicate
rest your hand, fingers splayed around on a neck, on a chest,
on a check
ii.
a feeling so strong in your chest it might spill over,
has always meant danger, anger, control
please push

this is something new something
soft so much of something soft
iii.
this softness is often terrifying in its unfamiliarity
