Tenguchoushi


I’m sorry I’m in a few places right now
and paper-thin and see-through
I know you can tell that I’m all drawn out
because I can’t help but hang on, to
two, three, four things at once

but it’s not a secret, darling
so you can hold me up to the furious light
but you’ll find my pattern alarming
still – hold me as long as you like
I’m lonely, just not for you only

I have so much love in me, and I want to give it all away, but I feel like it’s stuck these days.
