I can feel the boring of his eyes through my skull, down turned
I don’t dare look up.
I can feel his hands, always playing as if at a piano, strumming against my own
I can see his mouth
Moving silently, stammering wordlessly on things we can’t bear to say
Fingers pressed to the veins at my wrist
As if I am made of thinnest glass
A touch that reminds me of smoke
I cave inwardly
In a way that helplessness does not give accurate description to
More than being helpless
More than a loss of power
A convalescence of the will
One that we both surrendered to long ago
