where’s
someone to
leave
the light on
for?

companion’d
security
and belonging.

unraveled sprawl
of legs and arms
on crisp
cool nights.

—

force me
out of
this box

and into
unknown.

explore with me
wild abandon
future

with a
light grasp.

making their
everything mine,

only once
rightfully
discovered.

—

revel in
their
workings

by virtue
of my own.

let them
never
hand me
anything

they
wouldn’t
be afraid
to watch
being
dissected.

—

be
patient

and expect
mirrored
flaws

with this
world;

contructed
and
intertwined

with
superficial
indignity.
