There's something here
The pull from a gravitational field
Rooted in things
Out of my control
At the time of
Years ago
Now it's like blood-bending
The way parts of me ache
At the sniff or a whisper
Of you
A beat in the heart pulled out
Only to be held
Skin-bound
Oscillating in the rift
Where it can't hurt
My flesh
But the blood that runs behind
Pulls me
Twisted and curled
