i can see the bare back
of a small human
glowing
in the darkness

others kindly gather around
but all you can see is
bare skin
and faces

one face shows teeth
White straight teeth
and leans forward
tearing a chunk
of the flesh from the edge of the back

the face looks like mine
and i feel terror
but everyone seems calm

except him
he wanders through...
everywhere i turn
his eyes that won't look at mine
JUST HOLD ON TO ME
I'M BREAKING

i need him

i'm lost inside of myself
