\nto pocket. If you could find
\na pretty one I\u2019d appreciate it.
\nShallowness I prize most of all.<\/p>\n
\nat being profound, but I\u2019m quite good
\nat silence and mood-killing. I suppose
\nI\u2019ll be even better at that soon.<\/p>\n
\nbring a knife that\u2019s light in hand,
\nbring a knife with an edge I can\u2019t see \u2013
\nI think that will make it easier.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m reducing myself \u2013 the cut
\nin the crook of my arm is a seam.
\nI wish I\u2019d learnt to sew.
\nI suppose it isn\u2019t too late.<\/p>\n
\ntaking me with it. I might
\nbe back by early Spring,
\nin those early buds blessed
\nsuddenly by frost. I am a clutch
\nof ghosts, waiting to happen.<\/p>\n
