I have seen threads suspended between each thing unsaid

outlines

half defined

unabridged

slim and unsteady

unforgiving

we've all been searching

for something

divided lengthwise

tangled in knots

we can't untie

I think we adore

our underbellies

caressing the simple

cleanliness of the bits

we hide

bent from tip to toe

swaying slow

faltering glow

there are parts of me

you'll never see

even if I expose my insides

I've got hidden passages

in my organs

twisted like the veins

my rosy eyelids

ignite
