How did you do it so swiftly, so perfectly, so assured of yourself?
how did you not see the size of the ant mirrored in your elephantine eyes?
How could you so quickly smash, and unsmash, a, now merely,
mashed body in a foggy mind, an heart so broken in so many little pieces no one
no one
no one
will ever find them.
and me, so tiny, so tiny
smiling towards the elephant
who offers to take me across the river.
A wise man once said that one can teach another
to come and open her neck to the blade
every time, and every time she'll come
That man was my father
