watch you take a shot, pace, collect fragments of intermixed sentences in a heap
wave goodbye and get scared for you
watch you rattle out confessions of abuse
like a snake twisting off skin
--you're the skin--
hear how strong you are how strong
you are how strong
you are
straightening your bow tie buttoning your shirt
get ready for work and think of you
hold the room together while it spins around you
watch you reach to crawl, crumple, fall
