we are born the way a ship is born inside of a bottle,
or the way an obsession begins.
when you feel around in the dark,
that's your childhood tugging at your hand-
a green lake riddled with wire.
when you find the perfect song,
you will grind your teeth against its silences,
and the tension will carry you like a grudge
towards the core that tastes like the first place you remember.
