raze
you
step
onto
something
meant
for
sitting
and
climb
a
hanging
white
cotton
sheet
like
a
length
of
rope
to
the
next
story
.
you
live
between
layers
.
when
you've
made
it
to
the
top
floor
of
this
strange
furniture
store
,
you
jump
,
knowing
there
won't
be
anyone
waiting
to
catch
you
at
the
bottom
.
hoping
you'll
land
in
the
place
you
first
stood
,
and
a
couch
or
a
bed
that
doesn't
belong
to
you
will
break
your
unswerving
fall
.
you
hold
a
hornet
by
the
abdomen
and
wait
for
it
to
wriggle
free
and
sting
you
.
