Like a bag of heavy wet sand in the middle of my chest
or soaked cotton balls in too tight a space.

I wanna scream
tightly

hear me

This is how I hurt
gather it, and jab it inward

my heart is piecing and falling
and i want to swallow all my pieces,
want them in my fingers
mold them in a facsimile  of something that is together so I can swallow it whole
