rouw-te

leak out, dried up crust
of a thumb nail i’d lost when i fell down
and your so swollen now
you may never look down
because you cant see past
the throb for now
and for now
is typically long enough to last a lifetime.

why cant babies grow, inside of me?
why do you look sad,
when i tell you i am glad.

We are both so young.
