Sofia Fey

a letter from my hands to my heart

            after Rachel McKibbens
 
held contempt from other
organs giving you all the credit
blamed you, solely you, for all wrongdoings
& for bringing us to barren lands
when you must know We are for building
 
I’m the one with opposable thumbs
I’m the one that can write this list
yet, without you,
there would be nothing to
move me
 
& do you realize your pulsed wanting, your
infatuated flowing, puts the whole decision on me?
& I can ignore it, but you’ll send more, layers for later
you’ll hit me at 4am, your vein vines
grow longer, cover more ground, at night
 
& what  if I have nothing to reach for?
 
that wrinkly dude upstairs sucks, certainly no help.
most certainly no help with you two arguing either
what do you want me to do,
if I have nothing to reach for? & if I do
what if they don’t reach back?

A letter from my heart to my hands

open & close for me would you?
again.
 
now let’s talk about why you feel
like you always have to build
