67.

the thing is,
I have a tendency
to overreact, and I fear
the habit is flaring up
and taking hold

and they say that the body
tricks the brain into loving, and
in the past they have been wrong
but now I think my skin,
since you have touched it, is
dragging my heart down as it sinks
into depths I cannot yet
plumb, so perhaps it is time
for me to take a salty breath
and drift
