   hello, slurs into
i missed you s....
                             ...o much.
before i have time to
realize we have slipped
into each other
once again.                    the scar that steps
                                            softly across the side
                                            of my hand is a thin,
                                            white line:::
                                            half-covered

                                            no worn fingers
                                            that dwarf my
                                            own trembling,
                                            knobby hands.

where i end, i'm

y temporary grip
stays in my line
of reality-stained
sight and i wonder
if we are really me-
ant to feel time
