PAIN


Not around the periphery of my womb

nor around the circumference of my heart - 

fusing the hemispheres of my brain

so they function as on

with only one thought.

Across the skies and oceans and streams and mountains and deserts and the Universe...and beyond

even permeating the sanctum sanctorum of my innermost self

I never drew boundaries that would not let you in,

and yet

Today I stand

holding on to a tiny straw

with fear lest even that tiny little window of hope 

that you have left me holding on to so tight

be taken away.
