the discomfort on my skin
my fathers baldness
occupying radiation
taping the marks
the stalked beams
doctor doctor
you forgot his spleen
while you are publicly speaking
staging staging
the heavy heart
exactly balancing
for the audience that weeps
for me - somebody who deliberately abstracts in misery
the thick plush wetness preventing your cells to live
you, who deserves to breathe
you, open mouthed teaching me how to cry in my sleep
you, the peace where my battled lines are drawn
you, my all, bright like the spaces between the words in a sentence
tunneled by this body who remembers the saddening beauty of being truly free
