The Flood
i want to be more
than a bother
to you
more than the
thorn or
torn
ligament that
stops
you
from being what
all above me
could ever
become
but to some
they say my sore
is the
worst that
i could in any
way could
be but i
hold
my tantrum as if
a secretly sacred
rain dance that
will
not by chance
bring down drowning
tears to
resounding
fits of sobbing
