raze
i
don't
know
why
we
do
this
.
you
stand
up
stories
unsuspended
and
ask
them
to
break
the
promises
you've
stitched
into
their
spines.
what_makes_us_human
is
that
we
give
in
to
the
stray
impulses
that
arrive
like
blankets
before
dawn
.
(
this
insight
welded shut
by
the
woman
who
wants
nothing
to
do
with
it

we
can
create
a
world
separate
from
this
―
a
dark
but
eventful
dream
difficult
to
write
about
.
your
desire
to
feel
safe
outweighs
mine
,
so
we
remain
divided
.
i
know
what
kind
of
storytellers
we
are
.
