Thin
But you're the lose thread
on an old sweater.
The more I pull the more I realize
this, wasting away.
And I am too annoyed to ignore
you tickling my waste.
My hip grows red;
This hem, uneven;
A symmetry compromised.
And I'm too scared too,
to unravel you
because if I do,
and then you're gone,
What will be left?
It will be so cold
And I am already so thin.
