tell me what you think...
Kerrolita: He fell from the swing set
Crippled down in painHe nominates emotion
Kneeling to comfort my little brother’s face
Eyes woven together like cloth
I press hard on his bleeding wounds
Whisper into his little ear not to cry
He cant cry, he can’t cry
(Don’t cry, don’t cry)
Miles: There are no tears
Kerri: I watch his pupils dilate
As red fear oozes out of his lidless sockets
I was holding him when they came for me
Arms frozen around his shrinking frame
They had to break both shoulder blades to unhinge me from him
Cut my fingers from his face
Make me fiber
Miles: There is no embracing
