Held


The snow falls down
Like kisses 
I lick them up
Taste you
It's on the television silly
You're eating the carpet again

There is a lot to forget
Nothing to remember 

Part worn
Part tired

Silent
Sad
Reduced

I want to be held
I think 
A propos of nothing

At least he left before the storm came 
The world works like that
Sometimes

We are treading water
Spilling flies
Small stones of reality 
Dragging us down

The fall

Pathetic
Ridiculous
Seamless

Not as engaged in the game as we once were

Not brave enough to leave
Not brave enough to be

You know what our problem is
Only one I think
We have no normality markers
That’s why nobody understands

She has a point
She usually does 

I want it so badly Alice
It never goes away
Because you won’t let it silly
Just like you hang onto me

I respect your courage
The good lady said

The blue ballon
Falls down
On the string is tied a golden key
I reach for it
My wish radical
I think
Waiting to be held.
