I haven’t been held
by anyone for a long time
I’m beginning to wonder
if I have been held by anyone
ever at all
and how many things I used to have
that I now miss
more than anything in the world
like being held and being
kissed
and if any of those things
have ever actually
existed. Lonely
refrigerator.
Tap water
over hard boiled eggs.
Ice cubes sliding down your
shirt.
Being pushed off of
a very tall building,
everything must serve
a purpose I guess.
