retraction.

veins are sobbing for relief

while water retention

is never brief

and the variance of

the circumstance

is that rubbing in alcohol

only increases

the bee stings sensitivity.

they had a light

and know it

only to retract my former proposal

they threw it into the ocean

and now they

can only say i knew it.

breathing is

just that

nothing more or less

to confess to

some inanimate object

is far better

than preaching

to a choir that cannot sing.
