raze
if
i
were
running
for
my
life
,
these
gusts
of
wind
would
still
outpace
me
two
to
one
. whatever's
breathing
down
the
neck
of
last
night's
backwash
makes
me
question
if
i'm
something
flimsy
being
torn
and
i
just
can't
feel
it
yet
because
i've
gone
to
some
other
place
in
my
head
to
blot
out
the
pain
of
not
quite
being
cleaved
in
two
.
it
isn't
a
constant
tearing
.
so
i
must
be
made
of
stronger
stuff
than
the
hands
that
are
trying
to
separate
me
from
myself
were
banking
on
.
because
hands
do
have
plans
of
their
own
.
mine
aren't plotting
against
me
so
much
as
they're
waiting
to
see
what
my
next
move
might
be
.
the
better
to
furnish themselves
with
a
reverence
that's
weatherproof.
i
always
want
to
hold
you
just
like
that
.
