poised as a triggered question mark
How do you know you're alive-
the blood sugar spike
caress of a strangeness
morse code apostrophe of desire
of ownership
consistently false
Nothing is yours or mine
How do you know you're alive-
the breath that lingers
pierced with tongue and teeth
you are not that infant in the photograph
clouded memories of firsts
yet you are nothing else
follow feather's fall, follow hollow feeling
wake and sleep
plan and dream
step lightly here
she will love too hard
she will be as lost on the wicked path of meaninglessness
how do you know you're alive-
he will collect you as a bird
fallen from the nest
treat you as a tender thing
who foolishly felt flight in broken wings
and people
wake and sleep
forget
(please!) it all
