and suddenly you become hurting and hurtful
and you wonder
at that time when
you wore a plait on each side of your head
and they seemed to keep your balance
and make you weigh the ins and outs
in a constant throw away way.
and your laugh lines stay when you
have just woken up
are taking a shower
are sleeping.
you want to stay
your memories stay
imprinted on your fingers and you forehead
you tummy
and the backs of
your feet
