i can still hear your eyes snapping shut
because you couldn’t let them go
in my line of sight. the moment is
frozen in time:
pulp splashes from your fist
a scream dribbles from my lower lip
the grass is dead and crumbly
a thorn stretches from dirt to toe

i can’t put myself in your shoes
(it’s against the rules)
