Two more drops in the bucket.

Screws to tight for withered hands
and you to proud to ask

I hold the phone
emergency speed dial
just in case

wires
electric
a rogue current
that envelopes conversation
creating a void
as you work toward my happiness

______________________________________

we lead fractured lives
double-faced

one for you
another for us

The stressful
straining stretch of skin

we are not leather
nor disease

to be cured
