The Soft Spot Won't Work

Come close
to the poison

Eat

Let it break you
into desperate hunger

Eat

Sleep

I wanted to be your friend
so I started to dress like you –
not conscious deliberate, it just happened
I realise now, long after the event,
on reflection (which I guess is what
you didn't want…a reflection)
that it might have been a mistake
but that was only one of the many ways I tried
So don't get hung up / philosophical –
you're not better than me, or wiser
I just wanted to be your friend

and empty shells
       so empty
       like the void on Hozomeen
       like old books
              crinkly old books
       paper like card
              print like Braille
