what breaks open
is not always breaking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the thing underneath the tension
was always the thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we name the wound
and miss the hand that made it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we argue the weather
when we mean the winter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
every rupture has a root
older than the fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the root still wants water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
even now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
even after<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to be known is not the same
as being agreed with<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the ones worth keeping
will still be standing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when the words run out
go back<\/p>\n\n\n\n
there is still something there
to tend\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
