there it is in front of you

staring in your face

 

look away out of shyness

comfortable its there

 

you wouldn’t want 

this future for yourself

 

letting it define you 

could you imagine 

 

many other things 

could break you

 

could you 

just let it happen 

 

join me where it 

comes apart

 

there's a seam 

comfortable and naked

 

disasters help us 

understand who you are

 

swallow this pain

as it studies us
