as of this moment,

as of this moment,
i am one-ninety-eighth whole,
having splintered at

each major fork in the road,
still finding a way back to you

if we look back far

if we look back far
enough, we will find where our
histories splinter –

perhaps one of us will protest,
say it didn’t mean anything

** in the absence of The Daily Post from WordPress, here’s your daily prompt: splinter

in the middle of

in the middle of
packing a suitcase home, a
splinter or two lodged

in the tips of my fingers –
a run-in with old memories

recognizing only a splinter

recognizing only a splinter
of a fragment of how
the observable
universe works, i am stuck
wondering if somewhere,
in the constellation
hydra
, someone has
looked out her window
for the last time, a witness
to the collision, ouroboros

in every moment

in every moment
of forgetting, hearts splinter,
words look for throats in

which to get caught, hands clasp and
unclasp, learn to build bridges

in every moment,

in every moment,
we are splintering and re-
rendering, rocking

the boat of time, taking care
not to catch too much water

there is nothing

there is nothing
that pulls you closer
to the moment than
when you are leaning
over the toilet bowl
with a splinter
in your throat
