If it keeps wrecking
over, again
could it be making room
releasing longing
lodged between failing veins
cracks splitting toward tiles
ticking time slipping up
again, over
sharing, shifting
loves multiply, grate, divide
themselves, others
until no more is held
in place, a palm
shredded contents shatter
into fine dust particles
powdering the air
