am i
smaller
somehow?
i don't believe it.
have i fallen
from somewhere?
no, not even.
would i have teeth
for that one who
said?
maybe somewhere
sharp
in the bushiness
of my mind.
but it would be
a momentary reaction,
unrefined.
so what then?
my heart is a good
and
functioning color.
i will not wander
where that color
goes under.
