Compare actions to my own in the hope that something aligns
but nothing subsides

I’d take your sadness but I can’t take mine
do I deserve nothing less
can’t keep a pen knife- how can I ever get loose

want words that accept me
tiny hands that move to soothe not to break
these clumpy limbs make for getting tangled
the sky was breezy but these last few feet are teasing

I can’t console
parts of my body made to fire raggedy thoughts across unreal paths
tendency to slip between hating and disregarding
until breathing loops...
