How will we come undone?  

the knot 

un-looping itself 

fingers un-locking 

embraces turned inside out 

as if we are making 

grand gestures  

leaning back with outstretched arms 

and so much space between us 

I don't like to think of time 

sliding, slipping, 

taking apart 

what our words, our lips 

our hearts 

have so painstakingly put together 

How will we break?

scatter into pieces

as if we were a favorite thing

the whatnot that was treasured

and not held tightly enough

who will let go first?

who will go searching for the pieces?

who will gather each one?  

 

Let's be friends
