Get Through by Mark Joseph

solo

i hang up the gauze
to fall

all around you,
shades of gray    (at your fingertips),

spinning

under  velvet curtains  and
pink feathers,

which i cut into pieces.
i

cut them all into pieces,
cut

myself into pieces,
fall down

between the shards  (and make believe)
i'm

better than i am. with
outstretched arms

i feel un-human  and (special but

not in a good way), and i hum along
but
the real tune

of the bird song     escapes me.
i

hang up the wall,
praying

no-body will notice...
