Love bold
|
When you first learned other, you a target of
slurs & fingers of small fists in shove; other
always always lives internal; other bunks in
between each disc in your vertebral column,
each gland you salivate from, each
constriction of pupil in search of
understanding; other finds home in tendrils of
brain, safe behind skull; think walls, think what
walls keep, what walls inhibit; how you no
prisoner & thus, out out brave other, into a world
that throws stones, a world that beats &
batters; how you, other, love bold, love bold.
