// Your held optimism

is like a fruit-bat

convulsing on the floor.


All flap and light

bones on something


real and hard.

You couldn’t sing the rest

of the
song

because the words frothed


at someone else’s



mouth


before you had a chance

to grab at them.

Never mind.

There’s more time

in the week to come,

to find

your eyes

and



learn to



at all the nonsense. //







cry again
