these
are
the
letters
that
are
leaving
after
sweat
and
oil
and
good
intentions
have
eaten
away
at
the
silicone
reminders
of
what
they
once
were
:
t
for
time
which
defies
every
attempt
to
slow
its
steps
measured
but
too
volatile
for
these
tired
feet
to
follow
o
for
all
the
obvious
mistakes
i've
made
and
all
those
i've
misjudged
or
failed
to
appreciate
l
for
love
a
compact
container
struggling
to
accommodate
everything
that
matters
(
no
wonder
the
cover
keeps
popping
off

b
for
every
broken
thing
that
will
or
won't
be
made
whole

for
never
letting
go
until
my
fingers
have
been
severed
and
even
then
you
know
both
these
hands
will
have
to
go
because
as
long
as
there's
some
mechanism
in
place
to
perform
the
rudiments
of
grasping
i'll
press
these
stumps
together
to
form
a
bloody
claw
and
whatever
i
can't
carry
i'll
bite
and
m
for
all
the
music
still
coursing
through
these
half
-hidden
veins
words
in
search
of
melodies
and
hopeful
partial
chords
looking
for
a
hand
to
hold
