Pictures taken down
from the hanging
album right in front
of the sliding door of
my balcony
Almost locked you last
time your bare feet
stepped out of my
comfort zone like a
hummingbird mocking
an artificial flower
The thread now bare
So bare that I can’t
help but clipping all
of my corpse back up again
to fill out my
rain-eaten sepulcher
