Woke

Benjamin Combs.jpg

I woke up to it

Threading itself

into threads

that barely held together

Staining the

stains

that only stayed

because they

could

barely fade away

Infringing itself

on the fringes

because they

could barely hold themselves together

;

Because I could barely hold myself together.
