when i awoke
you were no
bigger than
my palm
all day long
over and over
I lost you
until, exhausted,
later that night
while we slept
you crawled down
between my teeth
past my tongue
and spelunked into
the caves of
my body, i
went for weeks
believing i had
lost you forever
swallowed you
in my sleep
and for weeks
i considered you
consumed in
a dream, only
to have you
climb back out
from the dark
deep inside me
weeks later
as if nothing
were different
and all I
could think was
"how could you?"




this is a rough draft of the first in a new series i'm working on. It is about framing relationships with various constant things. seeing relationships through these specific and unchanging lenses. I am pretty satisfied with this first one, time. Sam! thanks for following my blogspot. you are going to start getting similar personalized content like Nadim was. welcome to the team.
