She's got one foot on the ground. That's one more than

before her day. Just crawl back and swallow your pride

like so many pills before this. Girl speak you must

know something more. I know that you must feel

something for your presence is coming chilly. Your

motions sadly sober now. Please let yourself cry.

Prove your miserable existence and I'll believe. I'll

confess my sin. Choking on the manipulation of

another. Roaming on the plane of no bother. The child

spoke the truth. "I can't believe I'm dead." So why

bother us now. You knew everything except the price of

haste, so hold your breath to hold his hand. I'm here

so where are you? Everything was lost overhead. Above

the mantle in the depression. Not a single memory to

burn in this betrayal. At least nothing that I can

reach. I am still standing, still staring at your

child rolling, playing in your husband's stain. Would

you make a token for your son of what's left of his

teeth pried from the plaster. If he found the weakness

to surrender to pain, can you find the strength to

search for him. I am here so where are you. I am still

here and I need you.
