getting too

how do you stop
the downward pull
if you don't know how to fly?

i've been told you just let go
you'll float, soar.

but when i do,
i sink
i try
clawing my way up.
but i'm constantly flailing.

there's never anything to grasp

i'm getting too old.
i'm getting too tired.
i'm getting too
getting too
too.

Bare

bones.
i'm happy to see
bones

ribs
hips
spine
bones.

jutting out

my bones
with nothing on them.
