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
