where we lay

in pieces

scattered

within the narrow

in this space

amongst

the wilted

and the grey

under these leaves

which hang from

this tree

sifting through

this gentle humidity

this is where we lay

surrounded by the calm

this vacancy is filled

with controlled temptation

and withheld emotion

only here we allow this

this that which

we choose to deny

this of which

remains unspoken

where all lies

are lost

by where it is

most comfortable

most wanted

where the truth is stripped

laid out before us

this design

these pieces

a most unique

of self

found within self

of the other
