[kynderalla]

i didn't want my picture taken

because i was going to cry. i didn't know why

i was going to cry, but i knew that if anyone spoke

to me or looked at me too closely, the tears would fly

out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat

and i'd cry for a week. i could feel the tears brimming

and slashing in me like water in a glass
                                                                   that is unsteady and too full.
