is your fingers numb
2025-02-22
did you ever go back
did you ever return
did you ever return from what you had returned to
how many times you left yourself
betrayed yourself
pushed the hands holding your hands
grasp at its strongest at your wrists
before you broke it all off
do you think you broke the chains
which chains do you think you broke
does your wrists carry a burning sensation
is your fingers numb
how do you want to read?
poems can unravel themselves as you read, line by line, at a considered pace — or just sit there, fully visible, like normal.
change this anytime — look for “reading: …” near the top of any poem.
