A Little Story
Closer now
?
for you
or me
?
closer now
where’s the sanctity
?
Closer now
I can only see
where I begin
yes, the roots of me
closer now
I fail to see
where I can end
it’s all about me
closer now
I’m stuck at me
closer now
it’s the vanity
closer now
doesn’t like to see
the strands of you
as they cling to me
closer now
but the need to be free
closer now
seems lonely
closer now
is a travesty
the need to part
with one fibre of me
closer now
little honey bee
closer now
the hive’s for me
closer now
is not about you
closer now
pay me your dues
closer now
no plasticity
closer now
is a stretch for me
closer now
is rigidity
closer now
a disability
closer now
is struggling to see
how closer now
can work for me
