See-through Saviour

restless limbs, thrashing

wordless lips, mourning

I call out

you come

but can you save me?

I am lost

you come

but can you be a shelter?

My home resides with you

but things are so transparent

as clear as the glass

from which it is built

 

she says

next year, you will look at this and say

this is how it all started

 

but I say

how can I be sure

of the future

when I have not yet conquered

my past
