some stillness here that I fear to break some gentle memory of the body some luciferase show of a little plant something still softer and still small like the tickle of an ant before it is revealed or the startle of a single hair

I spent years trying to break the horrible spell of past to free myself from its shame but such nights bring it back like an abandoned baby in their cautious arms and when I take it does not cry or scare me with frenzy it sleeps beside me chubby-lipped and pillow and the nights do to beside me
I donβt knowβ¦ some stillness here makes us one
