Poetry: fluctuation

split
visible touch
tangible love
not reaching far enough
impossible
blockade, barbed wire
my fault.

[evidently i pull this off well]
[evidently now even my eyes don’t tell the truth]
[evidently this “breathing in” still isn’t deep enough]
[and exhaling is only a reminder]
[that this breath is not the only thing exiting]
