Thicker Skin

these balled up fists i hide,

twist in my own gut.

i do not know

how not

to fight,

struggle

blind,

little

beetle

on its

back,

flailing.

Love, you

seek surrender

simply because you

exist in the deepest trust.

as you soften rough skin

i break in your arms

like glass, & reeds,

& the mirror,

reflecting

us as

one.

Love making fragile emotions stronger. Wonderfully crafted prose.
