splinter
raze
if
everything
that
makes
me
who
i
am
is
taken
away
,
stolen
by
some
stranger
who
doesn't
know
the
value
of
what
he
has
,
what's
left
?
maybe
the
scar
tissue
is
smoother
than
what
used
to
live
in
its
place
.
maybe
the
bone
that's
been
broken
grows
back
tougher
and
more
malleable
than
before
.
maybe
that
limb
never
works
the
way
it
should
again
.
maybe
someone
hits
the
resonant
head
of
a
trash
bin
with
a
sledgehammer
all
night
long
,
trying
to
chop
down
a
thing
that
won't
fall
,
and
they
call
that
thunder
.
maybe
something
thick
and
viscous
drenches
their
clothes
and
they
call
it
rain
.
maybe
lightning
is
just
the
sound
finding
another
way
to
express
itself
,
afraid
of
not
being
heard
,
an
angry
impulse
five
times
hotter
than
the
surface
of
the
sun
.
maybe
i
barricade
the
front
door
with
the
broken
parts
of
other
doors
made
useless
by
whatever
warm
hands
touched
them
and
asked
to
enter
too
many
times
.
maybe
i
walk
through
one
grey
room
after
another
before
i
find
the
room
that's
mine
.
maybe
there's
a
place
to
rest
that
will
never
be
a
place
to
sleep
,
not
because
it's
uncomfortable
,
but
because
it
doesn't
know
my
body
,
and
there
won't
ever
be
the
right
meeting
of
soul
carriage
and
fabric
and
foam
to
make
us
allies
.
maybe
all
of
this
is
subject
to
change
.
