Follow the delicate trace of the fingertips
One then
The other then
more gently
now
more
Follow them piercing through the cracks and wounds that have evolved with your life
Gaping
Jagged
Now healing
or pretending to heal
as these caresses continue
Earth,
I plead,
just for the moment, earth
just for now
for them
please
cease the unraveling of every moment and let this remain
ever present
ever now
ever now
ever now
