aren't endless, and that our rib cages are not mere bones. One can die
from grief, so now we can describe loss and love as the Holy Twins.

"Anyone can write a poem with the prompt 'what did the door of you childhood home sound like when it opened or closed? what season? what were you thinking? how did you feel? what were your dreams?'"

I am the only one who worries
that my language is hanged,
ropes around its neck?
My tongue is worthless.
Though it speaks
among the deaf, it does wear out.
