But the only home I ever knew,
Was embodied in to the thought of you.

i see the fragments everywhere now:
i spot the cracks, the crevices,
the shedding of shells and shards,
flying off like freebound scrapnel—
the ache of everyone flaking away,
fading into the sunlight of day;
I can smell burnt nerves
below my nose
in this dizziness, caused by a fire;
there is not enough air left for me here...
My hands are sweaty, My heart beats too fast (not fluttering like the wings of a bird but
thumping like stones being thrown into water).
The scent of the pages of fifty-year-old booksup in the cold up, Your breaths twirling up,
