what takes away

untethered

unforgiven 

                - an un- of self,

     of worth 

     of past

a bit player 

                           fringes and predictions 

emotion

obtuse - reused

displaced 

    tattered hems of hope 

              neutral luck  - 

                                       chance.    

a chance to remember, memories underwater 

wet with desperation, 

changed as of present. repurchased significance 

                                        in my hand on your face, in the way we fit together on the hardwood. 

refurnished justification - validity in the shape of me, now

standing cold in the dark, 

full of the moon ; 

                                full of you.
