hard to fathom
a smile ever existing
bubbling up like stomach growl
pick a card, any card
try and start your meal
why are they all around,
creasing around a figure?
they sing again, a song
i cannot promise i won’t be long
bent out of shape
hanging out of frame
hands where i can’t see them
they feel my heart beating, a song
belt out agape
the fulcrum point
