Note: this was one of those old files I had saved, and I am not sure where my head was at when I wrote it, but I think it deserves a space here. 2005 was a dark time for me...

Hello; you have created me,

blind and smooth, with a clean

line on your skin. It seems a little close to

becoming deep; deep enough to remember

what you do to yourself

what you find becoming you.
