emptied
carved onto blank slate
pieced in letter and pause
punctuated by breaths
an unfinished picture
like the elephant in the room
each part scrutinized
as though the whole
how can you know
when I don’t know
myself
this is who I am today
this moment – but it passes
and I gauge your response
curious to see
what I said
to you
