around them,
about it,
in the way
a rock wears flat
beneath the caress
of time and river.
If poetry is cracking
open ribs to lay bare the hidden
I would kindly request reprieve.
Today there are words
I'm trying to work around my lips
Without so much cracking
"When we were trying"-
And the box of hand me downs
My mother bought for us.
