Punctured with a Needle
you and i
try to fit this world in my box
we pull colors off the wall
uproot textures hard and soft
cusp light and shadow in our hands
until they become warm and runny and
slip through the tiny cracks
that let light in
℘
i thread all these things
around us
puncture them with a needle
and
tie them to my finger
so i won't forget
