"LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES!!!!"

and amidst the rubble of any notion of the self,
and underneath the immensity of society and its necessary flaws
my hand is held for awhile; even as i stamp and proclaim i need it not
and i thank you

"i'm walking on clouds, of white. what if i fall;
what if i don't?"
:citadel - anna nalick

i remember you and i remember and i remember i remember you
i remember you, do you remember me? there were sparkles of sunshine,
all full of joy, hope, each as excruciatingly uplifting as the next.
now there is almost nothing and i am holding on by a thread

i look at people and i don't see them i am too busy holding in sneezes
i held my hand to feel if it was nice to hold, to see if anyone would ever love me
i hold my breath when i walk past fruit stalls
i stare transfixed at fashion shows i can never be one of them i know

i do actually know that not everything is about me, that nothing is about me
it is just that i do not know what to say, i do not actually even know what to say.

all is well: lines

no anger
no pain
no tears
no shame
no envy
no chains
no blame
no stains
